The Ivie Creek Petroglyphs are located south of Emery, Utah off of the Hidden Valley Mine Road. The site boasts several panels of petroglyphs that include various Fremont era rainbow iconography typical of the area. Hiking in the area is very primitive but the close proximity to a paved road make the petroglyphs worth searching out.

Quitchupah Creek

Rating: 
Round Trip Distance: 1 mile
Difficulty: Easy
Elevation: 6291 - 6408 feet
Cellphone: 0 bars
Time: 3 hrs.
Trailhead: Quitchupah Creek
Fee: none
Attractions: Extensive rock art




The Quitchupah Creek Rock Art Site is located about 4 miles south of Emery, Utah at the confluence of Quitchupah Creek and the North Fork of Quitchupah Creek. The site has more than 2 dozen panels of both petroglyphs and pictographs that include Barrier Canyon, Fremont and Ute images. There are so many images that you can see transitions from one style to the next. We pronounce Quitchupah as 'quit-choo-paw'. That pronunciation might not be accurate but we really like saying quit-choo-paw. The only meaning that we could find for it had to do with grass growing along a creek or possibly 'Grass Creek'.
