Nine Mile Canyon | Set 3
May 14-15, 2011
The continuation from Set 1 and Set 2 of my Nine Mile Canyon rock art photos…
A small panel found a little ways up Daddy Canyon consisting of an anthropomorph and a few bighorn sheep.
After exploring Daddy Canyon we hiked back towards Rasmussen Cave. We found this petroglyph panel along the way with a very detailed elk figure under a rainbow.
Of course, no Nine Mile Canyon photo collection is complete without a photo of this vandalized, complete with misspelling, pictograph in Rasmussen Cave….
This small petroglyph panel has a figure in the middle that appears to be wearing a horned headdress and a long flowing cloak.
Here’s a closeup of The Great Hunt Panel, probably one of the most famous petroglyph panels found in the Nine Mile Canyon area.
A wider view of The Great Hunt Panel.
A couple of petroglyphs next to the Big Buffalo.
The Big Buffalo Panel at the confluence of Nine Mile Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. The panel was glowing in the late afternoon sunlight when I was there for this photo.
This panel, near The Great Hunt, features a bighorn sheep that has a large spiral tail.
A busy panel across from the mouth of Cottonwood Canyon.
This large alcove, located high above the road, contains a few painted white snakes.
Even more photos from Nine Mile Canyon to come…
