RHH's photos with the keyword: bureau of land management

Sand Island is a recreation area under the authority of the Bureau of Land Management. We stopped there to see the Native American petroglyphs on the bluffs above the San Juan River. We walked the trail shown in the photo and found the petroglyphs in various areas along the bluffs, very clear and impressive, some of them shown in the inset photo.

While in Arches and Canyonlands we met a man who suggested stopping to see the petroglyphs at Sand Island, Utah. We did stop on our way south and walked along the San Juan River and found the petroglyphs there, some of them shown in the photo. The petroglyphs are found on the bluffs above the river over a nearly 100 meter area and are very clear and impressive.
