Selective focus on an amazing line of sheep petroglyph panel found in Hidden Valley near Moab. There are a few different lines of sheep located in the area, but this happens to be one of my favorites.

Ancient Aliens
On my way home from The Needles this last weekend, I took the long way home from Monticello so that I could make a few quick stops at some new rock art sites in Western Colorado. The main site I wanted to visit was this one, located on a large boulder along the Dolores River. These petroglyphs are very unique and are believed to be a cross between the Glen Canyon Style and the Uncompahgre Style. They sure do look a little like aliens 😉
The Birthing Panel
Two weekends ago when I was exploring Cedar Mesa I visited The Birthing Panel. I really don’t think any explanation is necessary about what they were probably trying to convey in these petroglyphs.
Duckhead Man
I finally got to return to this amazing petroglyph of a duck-headed man this morning. The last time I visited this panel was a few years back…before I even owned a DSLR. At the time I just took a few snapshots with my point and shoot camera and then moved on. I have wanted to return for quite some time so that I could get a better photo, but it just never seemed to happen…until today!
Lines & Sheep
Sorry for the lack of updates to the blog in the past month, but February was very crazy for me. I finally managed to get back out and search for some more rock art this weekend, so here’s a new photo that I took yesterday of a very cool panel that has a large sheep and a number of lines carved next to it. It was good to finally get back out in the desert and do some hiking!
