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
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.
Yellow Pair Alcove
As we hiked up and down Snake Gulch in search of pictographs, it seems that we came across a lot of anthropomorphs that were painted in pairs. This is one of the larger and better preserved sets that we found.

Snake Gulch Big Alcove
Near the point in Snake Gulch where we turned around and headed back up canyon, we came across a large alcove that had the highest concentration of pictographs we had come across all day. Many of them were still in great condition and some of the largest ones we had seen that day. This is a look up into part of the large alcove with a few of the larger anthropomorphs.

Snake Gulch Twins
The last long hike we had planned for our Arizona Strip trip was into Snake Gulch. This turned out to be a long hike at about fifteen miles, but the terrain was relatively flat so it was a pretty easy hike. Along the way there are a lot of pictographs to find. Many of them are badly faded and weathered, but there are some that are in great condition, too. Watching the walls for rock art and stopping to photograph them made this hike an all day affair for us. We actually missed this pair of pictographs on our way down-canyon, but luckily we spotted them on our way back up-canyon to camp.
