On the Inside

This is one of my favorite figures pecked along the Hidden Valley trail near Moab. I have visited this site multiple times and look forward to returning again in the future. It’s a great hike!

Four-Toed Bear

Four-Toed Bear

These interesting petroglyphs are found on a patch of sandstone above the Colorado River near Moab. I’m not exactly sure what the large figure at the top represents, but a four-toed bear could be a possibility.

Since I am not able to visit the Solstice Snake today for the summer solstice I will go ahead and post another photo from this amazing experience from last year. For those that do not know about the Solstice Snake, on the summer solstice for less than two minutes an arrowhead of light appears near the head of this very large and well-executed snake petroglyph.

Sheep in Focus

Selective focus on an amazing line of sheep petroglyph panel found in Hidden Valley near Moab. There are a few different lines of sheep located in the area, but this happens to be one of my favorites.

Sorry for the lack of updates to the blog in the past month, but February was very crazy for me. I finally managed to get back out and search for some more rock art this weekend, so here’s a new photo that I took yesterday of a very cool panel that has a large sheep and a number of lines carved next to it. It was good to finally get back out in the desert and do some hiking!
