Dry Fork – McConkie Ranch | Set 2
Saturday, March 12, 2011
Here are some more photos from our trip to the McConkie Ranch in Dry Fork on Saturday. Be sure to check out my first set of photos, too.
A close up of some shield-like petroglyphs along the Three Kings Trail. If you look on the sandstone below, you can find many more petroglyphs pecked into the darker stone.
A couple of petroglyphs I’ve called ‘The Couple’ coming into view through the boulders.
This anthropomorph along the Three Kings Trail is pecked into a dark colored sandstone which seems to be squeezed between a lighter sandstone and lichen covered stone.
A very stylized and lifesized petroglyph of an anthropomorph holding a trophy head with weeping eyes along the Main Trail.
Certainly one of the larger and most unique pictoglyphs along the Main Trail The very large feet really stick out the most, but so do the red and white horns sticking out from his head. Not to mention the trophy head to his right. Very interesting figure.
An interesting petroglyph panel located high in a cliff above the Three Kings Trail.
One of the many life-sized anthropomorphs along the Main Trail holding what appears to be a trophy head with weeping eyes. Based on the cracks through this panel, it may be lost when the stone finally gives way. The head could be lost a second time…
Two elaborately decorated petroglyphs along the Main Trail.
Still plenty more photos to go, so stay tuned for more!
