This is a large petroglyph panel containing many sheep located near Moab. Aside from the ‘many sheep’ that make up this panel, there is also a very interesting figure located on the very left that appears to have a tail?

Face Down Panel
This is a very faded Barrier Canyon Style pictograph panel that I stumbled across this spring while searching for rock art near Moab. The most unique part of this panel is where it’s actually located. This panel is painted underneath a large overhang facing straight down towards the ground. There is not much room to slide underneath and get a view, which makes it tough to take a good photo of. The location of this panel makes me wonder if the sandy ground underneath it might have been much deeper at the time it was painted? If you would like to see the orientation of this pictograph panel under the large overhang, check out this photo my friend Jackson took of me while I was taking photos of it. This was a really cool find for me that I did not expect to come across. It’s amazing what you can find if you just keep searching!
Under the Dipper
I don’t usually post photos to the blog on the weekends since I am usually out exploring, but since I happen to be home this morning for just a little bit I figured I’d post a photo I took last night on a quick evening trip to Moab. This is my second visit to the Moab Maiden at night, so I wanted to try something a little different from last time. The Big Dipper was hovering just above the horizon, so I framed a shot with the Moab Maiden just below it. There’s just something that appeals to me with this petroglyph and night photography…..so I’m sure I’ll be returning again sometime in the future.

Birdcage Panel
This photo is a nice overview of much of the Birdcage Panel. I really like the intriguing red and white figure that seems to be flying above all the other figures here. There are many unusual and interesting pictographs and petroglyphs located at this site. I enjoyed visiting and exploring the area.
The Snake & I
How about something just a little bit different. This is the first photo posted on this blog that has a real person in it…and that person just happens to be me this time. This photo helps give a little scale to the very large Solstice Snake petroglyph and also lets you see just who this person is posting rock art photos on this little blog. This photo was taken many months before the solstice on my first visit to the great serpent.
