Pictographs & Stars

When I was camped at Peekaboo Spring in Salt Creek Canyon over Memorial Day weekend, I took the opportunity to take a few night shots of the nice pictograph panel found here when it got dark enough out.

As we hiked up a small side canyon that was a little tough to access, I wasn’t quite sure what, if anything, we would find. When I spotted this large vibrant white pictograph off in the distance, I knew it was something cool. There was quite a bit of other rock art in this small side canyon, but I have to say that this unique figure was my favorite of them all.

I spent the long weekend in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park hiking and searching for more rock art. I’ve been out looking for this pictograph panel a few times before without any success. This time I finally managed to find it! I really like the trapezoidal-shaped anthropomorph found here.

I revisited the Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon again last month and took plenty of new photos. Here’s the first photo from that trip showing some of the many awesome figures found at the Great Gallery.

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.
