Bluff Horses Boulder

Bluff Horses Boulder

The final stop on our way home from the Arizona Strip was this large boulder located near Bluff, Utah that contains a few good-sized petroglyphs of two horses and two zoomorphs that could be deer.

Jump Rope Man

Jump Rope Man

On our way home from the Arizona Strip, we made a detour along Comb Ridge to search for this petroglyph panel. The name Jump Rope Man comes from the central figure that appears to be jumping rope. I wonder what that figure could have represented? It’s not a very large panel, but it’s very unique and in great shape.

Two-Headed Snake

Two-Headed Snake

Since I posted a photo from the Notch Panel earlier this morning, I’m going to post one more from the same location. This is probably my favorite part of the entire panel. The maze-like design is very unique and stands out well, but the most interesting part is the spiraled snake. This snake has two heads, which I don’t think I have seen anywhere else. Very cool!

After visiting the Shamans Gallery we decided to take a relaxing dayy off from rock art and visit the White Pocket. Of course, we did have to stop and find one petroglyph panel along the way. The Notch Panel is located in a very prominent and easy to spot location. There are two large main panels located right next to each other and the photo above shows the one on the right. As usual, there are many bighorn sheep, spirals and a few footprints.

Petroglyph Cove

Petroglyph Cove

I took many photos while exploring Nampaweap, so here’s another section with a bunch of petroglyphs all over the place. There were petroglyphs on many of the boulders in the area so we had to be very careful where we stepped and placed our hands while we explored the area so we didn’t touch or step on any of the petroglyphs.
