Rochester Creek Panel is managed by the Price Field Office of the BLM and is accessible by car and a short hike. When visiting this panel, or any rock art site, please treat it with the same respect as artworks in a church, mosque, or temple. Don’t touch the art, tread lightly, and leave things as you found them. All art sites are important, and many are central to the belief systems of the living descendants of the original artists. Thank you!

We created a VR model of the panel and surrounding landscape using more than 3,000 Sony A7 RIV images and 10,000 drone shots processed in Reality Capture.
Located on a prominent spit of land above the confluence of Rochester and Muddy Creeks, the Rochester Creek rock art panel is an extremely complex site. Beginning 2,000 years ago, people from the Fremont culture inscribed most of the petroglyphs we see on the panel. Subsequent cultures have continued to add images up to modern times.
