Archaeology Stewardship Site Visit

Presented by: USDA Forest Service, Kaibab National Forest, North Kaibab Ranger District, Kristen Francis, Sharron Evans, and Michael Terlep

Outdoor Adventure

Date: May 11, 2024

Time: 10:00 AM Utah Time - 12:30 PM Utah Time

Join local archaeologists from the North Kaibab Ranger District, and Sharron Evans, regional coordinator for the Arizona Site Steward Program, for a guided tour of a magnificent archaeological site. The Catstair Canyon Petroglyph and Pictograph Site is part of Utah's Cultural Site Stewardship Program where you’ll see petroglyphs and pictographs representing thousands of years of human history. 

After a very easy walk along a sandy wash, enjoy your lunch as the archeologists share their knowledge and discuss historic era and current uses of the canyon. Sharron Evans will speak about her experience with the Site Steward Program and how you too can be a good steward of our shared heritage.

Pack your lunch, water, hat, sunglasses, and appropriate shoes for sand and potentially water too. 

This is a good opportunity to get to know other Amazing Earthfest attendees as the site is 40 miles east of town on US 89. Carpooling is strongly recommended due to limited parking space at the Catstair Canyon East Trailhead. Always respect Native American rock art sites! There are no comfort facilities at this location.
