This anthropomorphic figure is to the left side of the main and larger set of petroglyphs known as the Wolfman Panel in Butler Wash. While this figure most likely doesn’t represent a ‘wolfman’ since large hands and feet are common in basketmaker petroglyphs, it certainly looks like one to me! This is a very interesting and easily accessible panel located near Bluff, Utah.
These well preserved reverse handprints in Fish Creek Canyon are painted high up on the back of a large alcove above a large ruin.
Back in May I spent much of a day searching Montezuma Canyon for rock art. I managed to find quite a few panels that day and am sure that I also missed quite a bit. One of my favorite panels I visited that day was this petroglyph panel depicting four cranes (or maybe some other kind of long-legged water birds). There were also plenty of other petroglyphs in the immediate area to explore.
Two different styles of handprints in Canyonlands National Park contrast nicely against each other. This is just a small section of a much larger pictograph panel that contains many Barrier Canyon Style elements and at least one Fremont styled anthropomorph.
There are so many awesome petroglyph panels near Moab, but this one has got to be one of my favorites in the area. There is a lot going on it this panel, and it’s probably telling a story that we will never understand. My favorite figure is the large Barrier Canyon Style anthropomorph that the smaller ‘supplicant’ figures seem to be facing. This panel is still in excellent condition, and I really hope that it stays that way! I could just sit at the base of this panel and study it all day!
