IntrepidXJ's Adventure Blog

I started this tradition last year with my 2009 Favorite Photos, so I am going to continue with my favorite photos from this year. Just like last year, I explored a lot of new places and revisited some old ones. It was a lot of fun, and I’m already day-dreaming about my 2011 adventures! Sit back and enjoy my favorite photos of 2010!

Since I took so many photos this year and I want to give a nice full overview of the year, I have a bunch of photos I would like to post. I am going to split this post up into three parts so that I don’t overload you all at once. You can click on each photo and it will bring you to that photo’s flickr page which has a little description of the image as well as bigger sizes.

I’ve been looking for this petroglyph for a few weeks, and thanks to a new friend who pointed me in the right direction, I was finally able to get there this morning. I was unhappy with the light when I arrived there first thing this morning, but later in the morning the light was better, so I headed back and took this photo.

One of the many petroglyphs I found around Moab today. I decided to play around and zoom out while taking this photo. I like the way it turned out.

Amanda and I went on our annual Christmas in Arches trip today and while we were there I stopped at Double Arch for a few photos.

On the way back from our hike to Landscape Arch we stopped off at Skyline Arch since I really didn’t have any decent photos of it.

On our way home, I made a quick stop at a petroglyph panel (the only rock art I saw today) so that I could get a better photo of The Dancing Bear.

Since I had the day off from work, I went on a hike up Lower Dominguez Canyon with my friend Jackson to try and find some petroglyphs this morning. This one looks like an armadillo to me.

This petroglyph panel was high up on a cliff that required us to scramble up a loose talus slope to reach it. Luckily it was one of the better panels in the area.

Since I probably won’t be taking anymore Christmas photos tomorrow and Saturday, I figured I would get some more today to celebrate the holiday. Here’s an ornament hanging at City Hall.

I took this photo on my break this afternoon as I strolled down Main Street.
