Sand Island Petroglyph Panel
A short ride off the main route, it’s worth it to get a close-up look at the Sand Island Petroglyph Panel. Carved into the rock above the San Juan riverbank, Sand Island is one of the most substantial Anasazi rock art panels in the area. It’s over 100 yards long with tightly packed artwork so you can spend hours looking for your favorite. Estimated to be hundreds, if not thousands of years old, the rock art spans from animals to humans to geometric shapes. Be sure to look but not touch this archaeological site. It’s easy to spot, close to the tiny town of Bluff and the Sand Island Campground. Just keep an eye out for the Sand Island sign on the south side of Highway 191.
