Lizard Petroglyphs – Cub Creek – Dinosaur National Monument
Lizard Petroglyphs Cub Creek – Dinosaur National Monument.
The petroglyphs of Cub Creek were made by the Fremont Indians about a thousand years ago. The Fremont Indians derive their name from the Fremont River, which flows most prominently through Capitol Reef National Park. The river itself derives its name from John Charles Fremont, an American explorer. The Fremont culture covered most of Utah, and parts of Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado. It was also contemporaneous with the Ancestral Puebloan cultures that built Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde.
