Located within the heart of the San Rafael swell is the geological feature known as Locomotive point. Located on this impressive sandstone outcrop lies an eerie pictograph (painted panel) of a human like figure crowned by a snake and surrounded by two plant images. Visitors to the site enjoy viewing the several pictograph panels at this site and exploring the nearby Dutchman Arch. The area offers several hiking and exploring opportunities. Access to the site requires a high clearance 4WD vehicle.
