A line of good-sized zoomorphs appear to be walking along the natural crack of this cliff face in Arches National Park. The first two figures appear to be bighorn sheep while the third one looks like it could represent an elk or a deer.

Great Hunt Alcove
Here’s a photo of the Great Hunt Panel located in Cottonwood Canyon close to it’s junction with Nine Mile Canyon. This is probably one of the most well-known rock art panels around and still one of my favorites. I really like the perspective of this image and how it shows the overall setting of where this panel is located. I figured I would post a photo from the Nine Mile Canyon area today since that’s where I am right now! Hopefully I get some good new photos to post on the blog.
Chaco Turkey
Since today is Thanksgiving I thought that I would post a photo of this turkey petroglyph I photographed in Chaco Canyon National Historical Park. I visited this site shortly before sunset just above the Una Vida ruins when we visited the park in June of this year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Decorated Anthropomorph
Here’s a small Barrier Canyon Style petroglyph found near Moab in an area containing many newer Ute petroglyphs and pictographs that I visited on Saturday. The decorations on the torso are very interesting and so is the dotted circle around the top portion of this figure. It also appears to have one leg extending down from the torso.
Kachina Bridge Ruin
It’s been a little while since I posted a photo of a ruin on the blog, so here’s a photo I took this past weekend while exploring Natural Bridges National Monument. This small ruin is located near Kachina Bridge and there are some pretty cool pictographs and petroglyphs nearby as well. If you look closely inside the ruin, you will see small anthropomorphs painted inside.
