Anasazi Trail & Petroglyphs

Anasazi Petroglyphs Hike

Ivins, Utah

3339 Old highway 91

AKA Tempi’po’op Hike or Santa Clara Petroglyphs

2.0 Miles round trip

Easy/moderate (more on the easy side but a gradual incline the entire hike up)

1.0 mile to the petroglyphs, can continue on to see the Santa Clara river overlook or just head back down.

This was a really cool historical hike to go on! It was fun to teach our oldest about petroglyphs and that they were messages written a long time ago. There’s a sign at the top explaining a lot about them. It also ends with amazing views!

This hike was relatively easy with younger kids, but had a good incline the whole hike up. Our kids were worn out and hot at the end, but we had a lot of fun! Peace of cake for the older kids!

The prehistoric farmstead was interesting to see - we didn’t think it was super worth looking at, so don’t worry if you miss it.

The petroglyphs were so cool! Easy to spot out and fun to explore. There are more to see if you climb down the where the big rocks are - we chose not to because I was carrying my youngest, but some other cool ones there!

Definitely a fun one to do! The dirt road to get to the parking lot was a little rough(washboard type dirt) but any car could do it to get to the trailhead.

We used the @alltrails app to find the parking lot and trail map. Guys - this is the most amazing resource! If you like to hike, get the app! It’s seriously a lifesaver! Search for “Santa Clara Petroglyphs” to find directions and trail map.

Any questions about this hike? Let me know! We had a lot of fun on it! The way down had amazing views of the Red Mountain too!
