Since I’ve been posting a lot of photos from my recent trips, I thought it might be a good idea to post something from earlier this year. This is one of my favorite horned-snake petroglyphs found in Nine Mile Canyon. This one is part of the Family Panel, which we visited back in May of this year.
When I revisited Horseshoe Canyon a few weeks ago, I visited this new pictograph panel near the Horseshoe Gallery that I had missed before. It’s obviously much newer than the other Barrier Canyon Style rock art found nearby, but it’s still a pretty cool panel.
Since today is Veteran’s Day I’m going to post a photo of a panel near Moab that I visited last year on the same holiday. The Intestine Man Panel is a tough one to get a good photograph of, but it’s also a very unique and amazing panel that contains a lot of fine detail. If you look very closely you can find many small birds that are painted at this site, besides all of the intricate details found within the Intestine Man figure.
Yes, I purposely posted this photo at 11:11am on 11/11/11
Since I am on a roll posting photos of petroglyphs near McKee Springs, here’s another one I took on my recent trip to Dinosaur National Monument.
After spending most of the day at the Dinosaur Quarry and along the Tour of the Tilted Rocks in Dinosaur National Monument, we drove up to the McKee Springs petroglyph panels for sunset. I have been to these panels before and they are certainly among my favorites, which is why I wanted to get some better photos of them. Visiting these panels at sunset with a great sky was just amazing, and I came away with a lot of great photos. This is probably my favorite panel in the park and I really like they way this photo turned out. I hope you like it, too!
