| The Petroglyph Loop Trail is a 2.8-mile hike and begins from the Spruce Tree House. The trail follows below the edge of the plateau to the south, and then makes a short climb to the rim of the mesa and returns via the rim.The Petroglyph Loop Trail is the only trail in the park open to visitors where you may view petroglyphs. The trail ends near the museum. Along the way, the Petroglyph Point trail guidebook points out geologic processes, common plants (Douglas fir, Mormon tea, serviceberry, prickly pear cactus, and broadleaf yucca) and their uses, as well as wildlife habitat and natural history. |
