Two interesting anthropomorphs behind a few boulders along the Three Kings Trail on the McConkie Ranch near vernal, Utah. I refer to this pair as ‘The Couple’ though it’s not an official name.

Price River Boulder
On Saturday I took my inflatable kayak through part of Gray Canyon on the Green River from Nefertiti to Swaseys Rapid. It was a nice relaxing day on the river, and I also got to find some new rock art, plus revisit some sites I have been to before. I have been to this large boulder containing a few pretty large petroglyphs before, but I can never pass up the opportunity to revisit a site when I am near.
In Between
This anthropomorph along the Three Kings Trail on the McConkie Ranch is pecked into a dark colored sandstone which seems to be squeezed between a lighter sandstone and colorful lichen covered stone.
Three Warriors
We sure did see a lot of ‘faces’ pictographs last weekend in Canyonlands National Park. Besides the Thirteen Faces and Nine Faces panels, we also found the Eleven Faces. While there may have been Eleven Faces in this panel at one point in time, eight of them are really still visible. The three figures in the photo above were the three rightmost faces in the panel. Unfortunately, calcite has been leaching from the sandstone that these pictographs were painted on, so much of it has been covered in the white substance, making it difficult to photograph. I did my best to bring out the details in this photo.
Nine Faces
Besides visiting the Thirteen Faces pictographs last weekend, we also managed to find the Nine Faces. These ghostly figures are all white and not as colorful, but there are at least nine of them that are still visible!
