Parowan Gap

The Parowan Gap from a distance looks like a giant cut in the road. But in reality it is a natural gap in the mountains made by a dried up stream and wind.

Located about 10 miles west of the town of Parowan on the Parowan Gap road. Once inside of the gap hundreds of ancient Indian petroglyphs line the rock walls.It is an amazing place. Originally form by mountain up lift, stream erosion and wind. As the climate dried the stream quit leaving just the cut in the rock where the wind whistled through.

For several centuries Indians passed through the gap leaving designs pecked on the rocks

The Parowan Gap is a protected sight and should be view with care. Picture taking is welcome but make sure nothing is damaged. The Gap is a must see of anyone traveling I-15
