The different designs are associated with the cultures of the Great Basin, Western Anasazi, and Lower Colorado River. Some interpretive panels are located on site.
The site is 10 miles southeast of St. George, Utah. From St. George, travel south on Interstate 15 to Southern Parkway. Travel east on Southern Parkway for three miles to the River Road Exit, which is located at the Utah-Arizona state line. Take Quail Hill Road (BLM Road 1069) one-quarter mile south from the Utah-Arizona state line, turn left (east) and follow the signs 4.5 miles to the site.
Special features include an extensive petroglyph site, created by the Western Anasazi, Great Basin, and Lower Colorado River natives at the base of dark red colored cliffs. The site contains at least one winter solstice alignment that can be viewed at sunrise on December 21 when the rising sun shoots through a crevice in the rocks and crosses a circular glyph.
