Petroglyphs

I'm fascinated by ancient Indian rock art, and on this trip I'm going to photograph as much of it as I can. I already posted a photo of the famous "Moab Man" panel. Here it is again.



And here's a Ute rock art panel I just shot this morning in Arches National Park.


This is a relatively recent panel, probably carved from 1650 to 1850. You can tell because it includes a man on horseback, and the Utes didn't have horses until the early 1600s.

Here's the other panel I've shot so far. It is in Moonflower Canyon on Kane Creek Road.

    Lance, you may already know about this, but there's a FABULOUS site just outside of Moab on the Hidden Valley Trail - LOTS of petroglyphs you can just walk right up to. THe trailhead is four miles south of town off the main drag, turn west on Angel Rock Road, hike #54 in the WOW book. Great photos, by the way!!
