DESCRIPTION

The Nampaweap Petroglyph site (Billy Goat Canyon) is one of the largest sites on the Arizona Strip and is
managed by the BLM in St. George Utah. The site is 1/2 mile long and contains thousands of individual
rock art elements on hundreds of boulders.

Nampaweap means "foot canyon" in Paiute. This canyon may have been an important prehistoric travel corridor
from the Grand Canyon to the resources of the ponderosa pine country around Mt. Trumbull.
