Amasa Back
Saturday, March 3, 2012
After spending the last two weeks in the Chicago area, and not having been to Moab in almost a month (February is one of my favorite times to hike around Moab since the weather is usually nice and there aren’t any crowds yet), it was time for me to get back out into the desert for a long hike alone. I left home in the morning without any particular destination in mind, but by the time I reached Moab I had decided to hike out onto Amasa Back following the Cliffhanger Jeep Trail. This is actually one of the few Jeep trails around Moab that I have not driven before, so it was nice to finally be able to check it out.
A short way into the hike I found a small and faded petroglyph panel.

Before continuing to Amasa Back I decided to stop an revisit the amazing Owl Petroglyph Panel nearby.

I also searched the area to find these very interesting petroglyphs that I had missed before.
