Shavano Valley Petroglyph Tours

Located just outside of Montrose, Colorado, Shavano Valley is one of the most picturesque and important rock art sites in western Colorado. The site was used from at least 1000 BCE to 1900 CE by both the Archaic and Ute peoples.

Through the Ute Indian Museum, tours are offered and led by our trained Shavano Valley Petroglyph Docent.

A tour member stands and admires a rock wall covered in large petroglyphs.
