Nine Mile Canyon Petroglyphs
Nine Mile Canyon Petroglyphs
Known by some as the “world’s longest art gallery”, the meandering Nine Mile Canyon is overflowing with rock art, ruins and petroglyphs. Considered to have the highest concentration of rock art in North America, it’s notably a popular spot to come across other tourists and archaeologists, alike. Unfortunately for riders, a large amount of the art is beyond the turn to Argyle Canyon where the UTBDR goes. Don’t despair, though, the Pig Head Rock petroglyphs sit just beyond the intersection. During the ride keep an eye out, too, for more sites all along the upper end of the canyon while traveling this designated Scenic Backcountry Byway.
