Archaeologist V. Garth Norman spent a decade decoding the mysterious petroglyphs at Utah's Parowan Gap, revealing a sophisticated 4,000-year-old calendar observatory built by the Parowan Fremont culture. Tracking sun, moon, Venus, and star cycles through cairns, shadow markers, and over 1,500 rock carvings, Norman uncovers ties to Mesoamerica's sacred 260-day calendar. Illustrated with Lance Harding's petroglyph drawings, this self-guided interpretive tour invites visitors to experience a natural wilderness temple center that Ute Chief Wakara called "God's own house."
“Ute Chief Wakara told the first white settlers who entered Parowan Valley in 1850 that the Gap west of Little Salt Lake is "God's own house."”
