This is a BLM adminstered area and we found a group camped in the alcove in South Temple Wash. BLM is trying to get a grip on this kind of activity, but that's happening very slowly.

The San Rafael River sites are accessible via either a very long day hike or an overnight backpack trip. In either case, it's a wet-foot trip, with a number of river crossings.

Petroglyph Canyon is close to I70 in Utah. But it still requires some walking. And considerable looking for the petroglyphs.
An interesting place to try to find a single small petroglyph panel But it was worth the search The Wild Horse Canyon Panel requires a 4 mile walk-in and then a several hundred foot climb to get to the cave that contains the rock art.
This was a 4 mile walk into Wild Horse Canyon...... to find this pictograph panel...... up there. The Three Finger Canyon pictograph panel is in a canyon on the San Rafael Swell west of Green River, Utah. The road is passable for passenger cars until about a mile before the canyon. Then you'll need a high clearance vehicle. We got high centered on a sharp descent, but managed to back out without damage.
