My trusty sidekick, Charlie Brown. 

The Rochester Rock Art Panel!

There is so much to see on this panel! The more you look, the more you see. Sadly, you can also see where later "artists" have carved in penis's on many of the figures too. Viewing small sections at a time helps to draw out the unique figures and creatures. I especially liked the bug eyed creatures.

Rochester Rock Art Panel:  From http://climb-utah.com/index.htm
          This site contains a very impressive collection of petroglyphs on a rock point overlooking the Muddy River.  This is an excellent 1/2 mile hike for seniors and children.   Navigation along a semi-maintained trail is easy.

Location:  From the town of Emery travel 3 1/2 miles north on highway 10.  Take the turnoff for the town of Moore.  Drive east for 0.6 miles to the signed turnoff to "Rochester Rock Art Panel".  Follow the well-maintained gravel road south for 4 miles to a large parking area.

          The trail begins on the east side of the parking area.  Follow the trail down the east side of the hill.  The trail soon turns south and climbs to a ridge overlooking the Muddy River.  The main petroglyph panel (GPS Coordinates N38 54' 10", W111 11' 53") is on the rocky point and faces east.  There are many smaller panels in the area if you explore the rocks.
