45 Degree Rock

45 Degree Rock

45 Degree Rock is a well-known panel located at the base of Cedar Mountain in the San Rafael Swell. Most photos I have seen of this panel are of the complete boulder that they are located on, which sticks out of the ground at approximately a 45 degree angle. I went for a little different perspective here looking down the face of the rock. If you look closely, you can find the small hunched-over figure that appears to have a burden basket on it’s back.

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.

Cedar Mountain Petroglyphs

This is a portion of a large petroglyph panel located at the base of Cedar Mountain near the Silent Sentinel that I posted a photo of yesterday. To me, it looks like there may be both Barrier Canyon Style and Fremont figures carved into this interesting panel.

Silent Sentinel

The Silent Sentinel is a cool and interesting Fremont ‘shield’ figure located alone on a large boulder at the base of Cedar Mountain in the San Rafael Swell. Unfortunately, someone has recently decided to fire a shotgun at this figure, permanently scarring it. (The damage is not in the above photo.)
