Pool Creek

These dotted petroglyphs have not been found elsewhere in Dinosaur National Monument although more-primitive dotted designs are seen outside the monument, including in Cottonwood Canyon. A large panel of these distinctive designs is located 35 feet above Pool Creek and about a mile from the Echo Park campground. In addition to the dotted portions of the images, lower portions have designs made with flat, carved areas. These petroglyphs are attributed to the Fremont peoples who lived in the area about 1,000 years ago. Although the petroglyphs are high above ground now, research has shown that the ground was much higher during the Fremont era and the art would have been at eye level.
