Moab Area Rock Art IV

Presidents Day | Monday, February 21, 2011

Since I had Presidents Day off ffrom work and the weather was going to be nice, Jackson and I headed to the Moab area to search out some more rock art, plus to just do some general exploring and hiking. We couldn’t have asked for a better day in February and we managed to find quite a bit of rock art.

First up was the ‘Secret Grotto’ Hmm, what’s down in that crack?

Hey, look at that! Rock art hidden down here 🙂

Some more pictographs we found after leaving the ‘Secret Grotto’

This Barrier Canyon Style pictograph panel was probably my favorite find of the day 🙂 It was a bit tough to get a good shot of it, though….

Here’s me taking the previous photo….this photo was taken by Jackson

We headed over to Secret Spire to do a little more hiking and exploring…

Apparently, someone thought there was something worth searching for in this alcove at some point…
