Devils Kitchen Petroglyphs (Millard County, Utah)

 Our final stop along the Pahvant Valley Heritage Trail takes us to another petroglyph site. There are a couple of other points of interest along the trail, but our plastic skid plate protecting the underside of the rental car has been damaged by these rough roads and we'll be forced to cut a few stops while we make our way to civilization and get this repaired, but back to the rock art.

Devils Kitchen is nothing more than a pile of volcanic boulders with a healthy coating of desert pantina. On scattered rocks in no particular order, the ancient peoples that dwelled in this area scratched symbols and shapes. As with any rock art, we can't be sure of their meaning, but there are some interesting images here. Perhaps the artist was trying to communicate water sources or good hunting grounds, or perhaps, it's nothing more than ancient graffiti. We may never know for certain.

My friend, Nick, and I do some light rock scrambling to explore the various panels. Both of us having a huge respect for these ancient treasures, we are extremely careful to not to touch or damage any of the glyphs. After we explore a bit and believe we have discovered most if not all of the images here, we head back to the car for our next adventure. This is a pretty nice area for petroglyphs, but if you visit, please be respectful and ensure you don't damage anything.
