Here’s another photo of the Skeleton Shaman which has got to be one of my all time favorite pictographs to visit. Not only are the pictographs interesting, but the condition of the panel is also excellent. This photo shows more of the shallow alcove that these magnificent paintings are located in.
This is part of a large panel found in Short Canyon that has more recent petroglyphs, that are most likely Fremont in origin, pecked over some unique pictographs that may be Barrier Canyon Style.
These three figures found on a large boulder at the base of Cedar Mountain in the San Rafael Swell are known as the Daisy Chain. There are a few other petroglyph panels found in the area that are easily accessible and very well known.
A unique anthropomorphic figure stands guard on a smooth cliff face above Buckhorn Wash in the San Rafael Swell. The spiral design under his raised arm is certainly unusual and I wonder what it could represent?
Let’s finish off the week with an overview of one of my favorite pictograph panels; The Ochre Alcove in the San Rafael Swell. Just amazing detail in this one!
