Newspaper Rock
San Juan County, Utah
Overview
Newspaper Rock is an impressive petroglyph site located along Indian Creek in southeastern Utah. This panel displays multiple periods of imagery from cultures dating from 1500 years ago to this century. The older art is attributed to the Basketmaker and Ancestral Puebloan people who inhabited this region from approximately 500 B.C. to 1350 A.D. The more recent petroglyphs (lighter in color) are attributed to the Ute people who still live in the Four Corners area. This popular day-use site has toilet facilities and ample paved parking, including pull-through spaces for larger vehicles and RVs. At the other end of the parking area from the toilets is a short compacted-gravel path that leads to the petroglyph panel where there is some interpretative information.
