Busy Sheep Panel

Busy Sheep Panel

Yesterday I posted a photo from Canaan Gap, and I’m going to do the same today. I wasn’t expecting too much when I planned to visit this site, but I was pleasantly surprised to find many cool petroglyphs when I arrived. This was the largest panel at the site, and it kind of reminds me of the Great Hunt Panel in Nine Mile Canyon because of the way the figures are all grouped together. Another interesting figure in this panel is the upside down anthropomorph located all the way on the left side.

Canaan Gap Petroglyphs

Canaan Gap Petroglyphs

On the second day of our trip last week, we stopped at this petroglyph panel located near the Canaan Gap before heading down into Arizona. Not only is this a pretty interesting panel located on a flat colorful cliff face, but it appears that some kind of erosion over the years has caused these petroglyphs to become much deeper than they originally were, since I doubt they were carved this deeply. This is the first time I have come across a set of petroglyphs like this. Very cool!
