McKee Springs
McKee Springs is located within Dinosaur National Monument. Currently, the fee to enter the park is $15.00 for bicyclists and pedestrians, $20.00 for motorcycles, and $25.00 for cars. The pass is good for seven days and can be purchased in advance here.
The site is located on Island Park Road and is clearly marked by a sign saying: "Petroglyphs." Castleton states: "McKee Springs Wash ... runs east and west for several miles; there are several panels on both sides of the wash...." Castleton v.1, p.46. We only found one panel on the south side of the wash.
