These three figures found on a large boulder at the base of Cedar Mountain in the San Rafael Swell are known as the Daisy Chain. There are a few other petroglyph panels found in the area that are easily accessible and very well known.

Black & White Shaman
An excellent example of a Fremont anthropomorph found high above Clear Creek in Fremont Indian State Park. I liked the way that this one looked in black and white over the color version.
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.
Family Panel
Here’s a pretty well-known panel located in Nine Mile Canyon, among the many other rock art sites, known as the Family Panel. I guess that someone thought this lineup of figures could possibly represent a family, assuming that the family includes a scorpion, a desert bighorn sheep and some kind of shield-like figure 😉 No matter what this panel might represent, it’s still pretty cool to look at and study.
Spiral Arm
A unique anthropomorphic figure stands guard on a smooth cliff face above Buckhorn Wash in the San Rafael Swell. The spiral design under his raised arm is certainly unusual and I wonder what it could represent?
