Parowan Gap Petroglyphs Iron County, UT 84714 ☎ +1 800-200-1160 Last Updated: 11/10/2026 |
| The walls of the Parowan Gap are steep jumbles of weathered and fractured Navajo sandstone. There are an impressive number of panels covered in petroglyphs. Some are recognizable as animals and humans, but mostly they are shapes. Circles, spirals, lines, and dots all collide and overlap giving you the sense that some of the petroglyphs are newer than others. | |
| Walking east to west you make your way along the north side then cross the road and head back. The south side has only a few petroglyphs and you can also see where the names and initials of pioneer settlers have been carved. Some people believe that the Gap was considered a special place at certain times. | |
