The Arch of Art (see this page) is a cool stop along the road in Fremont Indian State Park.
The Arch of Art
Time to test your telescopic vision. This unique cliff of volcanic rock is the site of a rich collection of Fremont rock art images. Sixty-one rock art panels containing pictographs and petroglyphs are visible from this vantage point. How many can you find? The photograph and arrows will help you locate some of the more prominent panels, but many more are visible if you look closely. Looking to the right, you can see the curved and arching columnar-jointed rock formations that give this cliff its name.
Stay Safe…
If you want to take a closer look, wear proper hiking shoes and be careful. The talus slope contains loose rock and gravel, so be sure to watch your step. As for the rock art: look, but don’t touch. While you view the pictographs and petroglyphs, ask yourself the question almost every visitor has – how were the ancient artists able to reach some of the places where they created their art? The boulders at the bottom of the hill may provide a clue.
