Rochester Panel Rock Art Site in Utah

In central Utah there are several superb Native American rock art sites and the Rochester Panel near the small town of Emery is probably one of the most spectacular. Along with providing a virtual tour of the site, this updated video shows an aerial view of the hike and gives a hint of what some experts think of some of the rock art's meaning.

    Wonderful video!! If I could still hike, I could follow your directions to get there. You spent enough time on each of the petroglyphs that I actually don't have to go there in person.. They remind me of a petroglyph wall in Oluwalu, Maui. The human like figures have the same trapezoid shape. The one with the bullet hole in the belly is like the forms in the Hawaiian petroglyph fields and they think that those are women giving birth. The Hawaiians brought the umbilical chords of their young and buried them as family groupings (they think). That was not done at Oluwalu, but on the flat lava at Pu'uako & Pu'uloa. You covered all the bases and I can't thank you enough. Oakland CA 2022

    Also the rainbow could be just that, a rainbow, to denote a safe meeting place there on that ancient penninsula in an ancient river (10,000yrs ago)…if all forms of artform was found on that wall; maybe that signifies a constant agreed upon point..it could possibly denote a “meeting place” ? Something that is known to the ancient peoples throughout the whole area? 🤷🏾 Just a guess

    hmmpf. I must say, this is indeed possibly my favorite petroglyph of all time. And I have been exploring the canyons and deserts of Utah for over 5 decades now and have seen thousands of glyphs, and probably all the well known ones. Yet these guys completely overlooked an important aspect of this petroglyph. Across the canyon, and easily visible from the Rochester site, is a huge glyph spanning at least 100 feet long and 40 feet high or so. It consists of a series of dots laid out in a rectangular grid. I have seen other petroglyphs with this theme, but always on a small scale. If you visit, be sure to watch for those. Rochester also has been called the "African" or "Egyptian" petroglyph, as many of the animal figures remind some of hippos, lions, and crocodiles.

    @@ryanmoreau4928 Check with wide angle binoculars. You will also probably see a later petroglyph with a mounted man on a horse. I also did not see the "grid" until around my third visit; Which I attributed to carelessness, but it is possible it is not easy to see unless the light is at just the right angle. The circles are reddish in color, just like the regular petroglyphs. Also these circles are higher on the canyon wall; they must have hung from ropes to make them. You may be looking too low, where you would normally expect them to be.

I will be visiting this weekend, I will look for that panel, seeing how its 'at least a 100 feet long and 40 feet high' it shouldn't be hard to miss. If that is that case it will by far be the largest panel in the state. I'm skeptical though, I've been there literally hundreds of times and never seen it.

    Amazing work. Those rock art looks so interesting. My theory is they are made by one man or possibly a small group. This is because the style seems to not deviate much. I think they are mostly random and shouldn’t be looked in too deep for meaning. I think they are just expressing themselves through art. Free styling as they go. Finding nice rock canvas to carve on. The collage of carvings was quite marvelous to see. Kind of reminded me of an indigenous American version of renaissance paintings.

    Could the rainbow etching you show at 13:42 be a canyon? And the aquiggly lines to the bottom right which are connected and lead to a spiral...maybe this is a trail or river that leads to the spiral. And the long line to the left of the canyon has circles every so often. These could be springs. If you look at a map with this Rochester panel, you can see where the springs are in a line.

This explains many of the things that people globally were witnessing in their skies, and carving in many symbolic ways ,but the repeating patterns of some of these symbols helped these scientist to decode their meaning.

You have to get a good overlap on the shots, set the Camera and lens to manuel because light conditions change quickly. A day eith now clouds helps againdt this happening and shoot them as quick ss you can. You get a very detailed picture of the whole panel in one picture after you stich it together. Hope this helps.

Aries in 2011 BC. Pisces 7 BC. Last time it happened? Beginning of the fatal Age of Aquarius -- December 21, 2022.

    The panel looks suspiciously like a representation of the great flood story from the Hebrew Bible. For instance: when Noah and his sons and all their wives left the ark and released the animals. Then the Creator made a covenant with Noah and sealed it with a rainbow. All nations seem to have known about these events in ancient times.

    Thanks for commenting. In my experience in the 4 corners area, Anasazi is still used very much. Before Anasazi was a "bad word", it meant, "the ancient one" or the "one that came before". But the Navajo refer to the term as "the enemy that came before". If you talk to the Hopi or Zuni, they will tell you that they were that enemy. Remember, they were there first. The Navajo came afterwards as immigrants from Canada. But they were much better negotiators with the US Gov't (i.e. Navajo Code Talkers) than the Hopi. So they get listened to more. I'm simply repeating what I learned at the Hopi Cultural Center on Second Mesa, a very worthwhile place to visit.
