Rock Art in Washington County, Utah. Pre-contact petroglyphs decorate the north wall of the Fort Pearce Wash immediately below the ruins of the 1860's fort.
Walking north from the confluence of this wash and the Virgin River hikers can see petroglyphs and later historic markings. There is no one large grouping, but the figures appear periodically up to five miles upstream.
The sites is south of the town of St. George. The road access to the site is substantially less direct and is described of the Bureau of Land Management website here.
Dinosaur tracks are also accessible in this area. (Water generally is running through the wash only immediately after rains and hikers should be vigilant when rain storms are forcast.)
Note: See the news story in the comment discussing federal representatives' plans to approve a reservoir that would flood these sites.
