The Notch Panel

The Notch Panel

The Notch Panel is one of my favorite petroglyphs panels near the Utah – Arizona state line. I took this photo close to sunset so the direct golden light would help bring out the figures. The puffy clouds in the blue sky were a bonus! The maze-like design and two-headed snake are very unique and what sets this panel apart from others.

The Golden Granary

The Golden Granary

A small and little-known granary hidden on Cedar Mesa. The afternoon light reflects off the sandstone below and bathes this well-preserved ruin in golden light.

Capitol Reef Anthropomorphs

Capitol Reef Anthropomorphs

An amazing lineup of Fremont anthropomorphs along the Fremont River in Capitol Reef National Park. This is a well-known and easy to access site just off of the highway.

Four-Toed Bear

Four-Toed Bear

These interesting petroglyphs are found on a patch of sandstone above the Colorado River near Moab. I’m not exactly sure what the large figure at the top represents, but a four-toed bear could be a possibility.

Pregnant Buffalo

There are plenty of unique petroglyphs found within Nine Mile Canyon, and this one depicting a pregnant buffalo is certainly among them.
