While on a ramble in an area where we’ve made some nice finds in the past, we happened across this little site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Based on how bright the petroglyphs are, I’d say they are not all that old. There are plenty of examples of much more weathered petroglyphs in this area. These are fairly close to extensive habitation sites, so maybe they were among the last panels made before those sites were abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a rather unusual panel – a lot of detail crammed into a single panel on a single boulder, nothing else really close by despite several good candidate boulders. We had to climb a little ways up a ridge to see it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s that up there? Time to go take a closer look – looks pretty wild from down here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Well now. Chains and footprints and weirdness oh my.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Several human footprints, along with some definitive bird prints, and some other abstract elements. Intriguing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
These elements are very well-made – the toes on the footprints are finicky details, well-executed, and the chain-like element’s lines are very uniform. This is a nice panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A close-up of the abstract element on the right-hand side of the panel. It looks a little bit like a lizard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The feet have it! Lots of finicky pecking went into creating those toes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And that is it! A very interesting little site. Hope you enjoyed visiting it with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
