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.

These petroglyphs are in the Ruincon Mountains area of Saguaro National Park at Signal Hill along the Golden Gate Road.

These Indian pictographs or petroglyphs in Saguaro National Park are accessible from the Golden Gate Road. There is a short hike from the parking area at Signal Hill to the rocks on which they are found.

These petroglyphs are preserved at the Ginko Petrified Forest State Park interpretative center in Vantage, Washington. They were among the few that were rescued in 1963 when the Wanapum Dam was completed and thousands of these petroglyphs were drowned by the rising waters behind the dam.
