Audio Tour: Nine Mile Canyon
Self-Guided Day Trip
Come along with us on this audio tour of Nine Mile Canyon and the Carbon Corridor. Nine Mile Canyon has one of the country's most amazing collections of prehistoric rock art created by the Archaic, Fremont, and Ute people. The varied styles of rock art and evidence discovered by archeologists show that this area has been home to Native Americans for thousands of years. The canyon, which is actually 46 miles long, is also home to historical ranches and structures that tell fascinating stories of the region's past residents.
As you drive, this GPS-triggered tour will point out the important rock art site such as the Big Buffalo site, the Great Hunt Panel, the Coyote Placing the Stars site, all of which make up part of a larger story of prehistoric culture in southeastern Utah.
