Parowan Gap
Parowan Gap is a unique, ancient Fremont Indian, petroglyph site.
The canyon contains thousands of petroglyphs mostly created by the Fremont Indians. Many passers by including the Hopi, Paiute and settlers have also left their marks as well.
The layout of Parowan Gap has made it a naturally formed Stonehenge.
The ancient people recognized the significance of the layout and marked it with petroglyphs of the various astronomical events. Solar and lunar calenders mark the daily, monthly and seasonal cycles.
They put a cairn system in place to mark the events of Solstice and Equinox. They even marked rare events that take place only once in 18 years.
The site is sacred to American Indians and is a site worthy of study and protection.
It is hoped that through education visitors will respect Parowan Gap and help to protect and preserve it.

HIKING THE EMERALD POOLS TRAIL AND PAROWAN GAP DINOSAUR/PETROGLYPH TRAILS NEAR ZION : Fulltime RV
On our last day in Zion National Park, we hiked the emerald pools trails. We also found that if you are around the visitors center around dusk, you can see several mule deer eating the local grass. It's a great photo opportunity.
We also visited the Parowan Gap Dinosuar tracks, which cantains several examples of fossilized Hadrosaur footprints. Just down the road are the Hope indian petroglyphs engraved on the rocks. These were both great homeschool educational opportunities.
