Monticello, Utah - Newspaper Rock The monument features a flat rock with a large known collection of petroglyphs. Unclear the reason for the large concentration of the petroglyphs. They were carved by Native Americans during both the prehistoric and historic periods. Some glyphs show riders on horses and a wheel. While precise dating of the rock carvings is difficult, repatination of surface minerals reveals their relative ages -- Approx 2,000 years. [Mike Stroud, 02/26/2007]Newspaper Rock:

Dinosaur Park in October. Easter Egg Hunt among the dinosaurs! [Brad, 01/20/2002][RA: Good to hear Eccles is still growing. We visited in 1994, when it was new and a little sparse.
