Traveling west from Cortez, Colorado along McElmo Creek on Country Road G there is a large boulder on the shoulder of the road about a half mile before the Utah border. The boulder causes a blind spot on the road but was probably left there because it is actually an archeological site. The boulder, and the rest of its neighbors form a natural rock shelter that was used by the ancients who adorned many of the surfaces with their petroglyphic images.
