Echo Park is located in the Canyon Area of the Dinosaur National Monument north of Dinosaur, Colorado. Among the several attractions in Echo Park is a panel of petroglyphs. While Echo Park sees a moderate number of visitors every year most go away without seeing the petroglyphs even though they are marked on various maps. The problem is that the petroglyphs aren't were maps allude them to be but that is more of the general area of the trailhead. River rats on the other hand are well aware of the petroglyphs and usually make a stop to show their group.
