Intestine Man is the first well-known site on UT-313. There is a plaque on the right-hand side of the road 2.7 miles from the turn-off from US-191. It's very easy to miss if you're going very fast at all.

This glyph is on the side of the road as you're driving to Intestine Man.

Snake in the Mouth is very high on the cliff on the opposite side of the canyon, almost due east and about 475 meters as the crow flies from Intestine Man. We didn't climb up to the wall with the panel on it (I was hiking with a torn meniscus), but I'm sure there are pictographs that we couldn't see from below. The photos we did get were with a high-magnification telephoto lens.

Use the turnout for Intestine Man for parking.

The Bartlett Rock Art Site is a few miles beyond Intestine Man. After 8.5 miles after leaving US-191, turn right onto Old Dead Horse Point Road. Follow this road for 8/10 of a mile to Hell Roaring Road and turn left. I wouldn't try Hell Roaring Road without a four-wheel drive. Whether hiking or driving, the trailhead is about 1/2 mile from this intersection.
