Parowan Gap
Thousands of years ago, an ancient river
cut a 600-foot-deep notch, called a wind gap, through the Red Hills. The
gap is a superb "gallery" of petroglyphs that features a
1,000-year accumulation of Native American rock art. Visiting the gap is a
perfect way to spend an interesting and breathtaking hour in Utah's desert
country. You can get there from a gravel road from Parowan by going north
on Main and turning left to 10.5 miles on the last street (400 North) or
from Cedar City, go north on Main (or take I-15 Exit 62, follow signs for
UT 130 north 13.5 miles, then turn right 2 1/2 miles on a gravel road near
Milepost 19.
