As we hiked up a small side canyon that was a little tough to access, I wasn’t quite sure what, if anything, we would find. When I spotted this large vibrant white pictograph off in the distance, I knew it was something cool. There was quite a bit of other rock art in this small side canyon, but I have to say that this unique figure was my favorite of them all.
I posted a black and white version of this photo on Tuesday, but I wanted to go ahead and post a color version that shows more of this very unique panel found near Peekaboo Spring in Salt Creek Canyon. They are hard to see in this particular photo, but the white Anasazi pictographs are actually painted over a few very faint Barrier Canyon Style pictographs at this site.
Here’s another pictograph panel I visited over the holiday weekend. I’ve been waiting for the Salt Creek Road to open up for a while, but the weather just has not cooperated, so I decided to finally hike to Peekaboo. I thought that this photo of the Anasazi shield-like figures looked good in black & white. If you look very closely, you can see the very faint Barrier Canyon Style figures that these were painted over.
