The Three Warriors Petroglyphs are located in Eagle Mountain, Utah. The site consists of a single boulder with 3 anthropomorphic figures, that although lacking any weapons, have been imagined to represent warriors.
For turn-by-turn directions to the Three Warriors Petroglyphs enter 40.34763, -112.00144 into your driving app. The site is located behind an LDS church that is directly across the Pony Express Parkway from another LDS church.
A metal fence has been constructed around the boulder with the petroglyphs so that it might be better protected.
The images show up pretty well although you might have to look at them for a few minutes to completely make them out.
They might show up better in direct sunlight but the bars of the fence cast shadows over them. The shadows can be gotten rid of by blocking the sun with your body or by arriving earlier in the day so that the sun isn't behind the camera. The petroglyphs are west facing.
The left hand warrior is standing arms akimbo. His headdress is mostly flat as though he had horizontal horns protruding from his head.
The middle warrior is also standing arms akimbo. He has 2 large eyes. His headdress has 2 long horns and 4 smaller ones that might be something besides horns.
The right hand warrior is holding one arm up as though waving and has the other bent downward. He has a round face and it's hard to tell what the headdress is.
That's all there is to the Three Warriors Petroglyphs. A single boulder with 3 images. If you bother to go see the Eagle Mountain Petroglyphs that are on the other side of the road you may as well stop here for a few minutes also. If you would like to see them for yourself then all you have to do is 'Take a hike'.
