Visit Capitol Reef National Park, UT with www.exploringrockart.com,
An Ebook is available on November 19, 2010.

Capitol Reef National Park is a very scenic area, one often having nice sunsets, but also with good Rock Art. One of the National Park’s ventures has been to build a Boardwalk along several hundred feet of Petroglyphs. It’s difficult to get good pictures on many of the elements because of natural degradation and the distance of the boardwalk from the panels.

The Ebook includes pictures of the Rock Art that we found (including The Main Panel, Fremont Map Panel, Fremont North, Fremont South, then East, North, and South Pleasant Creek) the book is 49 pages long and has 60 images from 7 sites within the Park. Depending upon your interest in Rock Art, Photography, and Sight Seeing, a visit can easily consume the better part of 2 days.

Instructions on driving to Capitol Reef National Park are included (but not specifics regarding the Rock Art locations within the Park) as well as reported history of the Fremont occupation. Sometimes, park personnel are helpful in locating Rock Art sites to visit, other times they are not. It may depend on the approach taken with the staff, and it’s a more promising approach to ask for site locations by name rather than just asking “Where are the Rock Art sites?”.

The ebook will be emailed to your address as a .pdf file. As a cautionary note, the ebook will be password protected (a unique password will be provided to each customer), and the configuration of software on some computers may not allow multiple copying of the file, forwarding of the file, or high resolution printing of the file.

The cost of the ebook is $5.00 if paid by cash or Money Order and $5.50 if paid with Paypal (address questions of how to complete the order to www.exploringrockart.com). Profits will be used by the Coalition to Preserve Rock Art, dedicated to promoting awareness of, providing education about, and preservation of Rock Art in the Southwest.

If you have questions or if after review of the material sent to you, you have the need for a high resolution image for educational, research, or artistic purposes please contact us at exploringrockart@gmail.com.
