Note: Please see YouTube for a video version

We trace Utah's Potash Road to packed petroglyph panels and nearby dinosaur tracks, unpacking how to identify motifs, read track slabs, and protect fragile surfaces. Along the way, we confront vandalism, clarify what not to touch, and share simple steps to leave no trace.

• difference between pictographs and petroglyphs
• anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures on multiple panels
• Archaic and Fremont period styles and dates
• roadside access and safe viewing tips
• theropod track types on Navajo Sandstone
• Why chalking, casting, and touching cause harm
• how vandalism alters meaning and experience
• quick methods to photograph and document responsibly
