Sheep Shelter Trail

The Trail

This super short trail is only about 0.15 miles round trip with about a 50 foot elevation change. It goes a short way up the hillside to a small cave across from the parking area.

Across the road from the parking area one can also see the Indian Blanket pictograph up on the rocky hillside.

 

After crossing the wide dirt path, continue up the hillside to the cave. A sign labels the trail.

Because the images here are facing the back of the cave, a mirror has been placed so they are visible.


Directions

This trail is located in Fremont Indian State Park in Sevier County, Utah. To get there, take Exit 17 off of I-70. Turn west and then turn right at the next two T-intersections. The trailhead here will be on the left about 1.5 miles past the Visitor's Center. Because this trail is in a state park, there is a fee for visiting and using the trails.
