The McKee Spring Petroglyphs feature some of the finest large human-like Fremont designs in the area, as well as many other figures. Several petroglyph panels can be seen along a 1/4 mile (0.4 km) loop trail. 

The McKee Spring Petroglyphs are approximately 22 miles (35 km) from the Quarry Visitor Center on the Island Park Road. Island Park Road is impassible during wet weather and winter. Check road conditions before attempting to drive to this site.

Don't touch! Petroglyphs and pictographs are fragile, irreplaceable records of the past that many still hold sacred. Touching them can leave skin oils behind, and tracings or rubbings can ruin the designs. Federal law protects all artifacts, including these sites. Do your part to respect and protect the past, and report any vandalism you find.
