The Capital George Pioneer Trail is located near Fruita, Utah which is located Hwy 24 between Torrey and Hanksville, Utah...almost in the middle of nowhere.
Eventually the road turns into a walking trail. This trail was used by pioneers crossing the southern Utah landscape east to west to settle in Nevada and California.
Along the trail there are many native American petrographs. Pictured above is what looks like a scorpion or a deer.
The rock walls also feature a "Pioneer Regrestry". When pioneers traveled w/ their wagons along the trail they would carve their names in the rock with the date of their passage so when their family menbers made the same trip the following year...they could tell if they had made it that far.
