Hell Dive Canyon PictographsPlease respect outdoor Rock Art museums in the same way that you would an indoor museum. Also see the nearby South Fork Indian Canyon Pictographs. Photo Album: Hell Dive Canyon pictures South Fork Indian Canyon Pictographs - The Hell Dive Canyon Pictographs are located within the Moquith Mountain Wilderness Study Area. Unique pictographs of a baby foot and depictions of a family are protected beneath an overhanging alcove. Without a 4WD vehicle, the hike would be an arduous 7 miles one way hike from the intersection of Hancock Road and Sand Spring 4WD Road. Not that it is impossible, but it would be quite the slog on sandy roads. If it is undertaken as a full day hike without the support of 4WD, then early spring or late fall would be the best time of year to hike. Hancock Road - From Mount Carmel Junction, drive south on Highway 89. Take the Sand Dune Road (Yellow Jacket Road) toward the Coral Pink Sand Dune State Park. Travel 8.3 miles from Highway 89 and look for the "T" in the road. Turn left at the "T" onto Hancock Road. Drive 3.5 miles, passing the Ponderosa Campground, to the intersection of Hancock Road and the 4WD Sand Spring Road on the right. If your vehicle wont make it on the soft sandy roads, walk from the "T" in Hancock Road and Sand Dune Spring Road. If traveling from Kanab, take Hancock Road to Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and travel almost 6 miles from Highway 89 to the intersection of Hancock Road and the 4WD Sand Spring Road, on the left. If traveling from Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park Visitor Center and Campground, travel North East 3.3 miles to the intersection of Sand Dune Road and Hancock Road, turn right on Hancock Road and travel 3.5 miles, passing the Ponderosa Campground, to the intersection of Hancock Road and the 4WD Sand Spring Road on the right. Sand Spring Road - Travel via 4WD, southwest on Sand Spring Road, passing Sand Spring, after 1 mile. Continue southwest for another 1.5 miles and look for the left hand turn to South Fork Indian Canyon. Stay right and continue past this intersection for another .75 miles. It will be necessary to take the left fork, after coming to the "Y" intersection. Travel another .75 miles. Soon the road gets rugged. It's not recommended driving beyond this point.
