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.
Big Elk Panelramic
I waited to post a new photo this year until I had taken some new photos this year. I wanted to start the year out right and not just post something I took last year. Since I was out searching for rock art near Moab on Saturday again, I finally have something new. This is a panel I have searched for on three different occasions. I knew the general location, but just could not find the route to the area I needed to be in. I guess the third time is the charm, since I finally made it there. Next time I will need to bring my long lens since it was located high on the cliff wall and I had to crop this photo pretty good.
Moab Cutouts
Here’s a portion of another petroglyph panel near Moab that I revisited over the weekend. There’s a few very cool panels located up here above the Colorado River, but unfortunately there is also a lot of vandalism and graffiti up here, too…
Bear Hunt Panel
Since I didn’t visit any rock art this weekend for a change, I’m going to post a photo of this large bear found near Moab since I did drive by it yesterday on my way home. This is a well known petroglyph panel found near Moab along the Potash Road. The large bear appears to be a newer addition to this panel than the other figures and is actually superimposed over a few of them.
