Fruita Petroglyphs

From the parking area, you will see two boardwalks.  The shorter one right next to the parking lot has binoculars provided and takes you to the panel that I photographed above.  The longer one to the right of the parking lot doesn’t provide any signs or definitive place to see the petroglyphs.  We did see a few, but we had to hunt for them on our walk along the boardwalk.  As far as we could tell, the best petroglyphs are at the end of the shorter boardwalk.

From Torrey, travel east on Highway 24 for 11 miles, at which point you will see the Visitor Center.  Stay on the highway, passing the turnoff to the Visitor Center.  Shortly after passing the Visitor Center, you will see a small parking area for the Fruita Schoolhouse.  Pass the Schoolhouse and the Petroglyph Panel will be the next parking area on the left.
