Thank you for sharing! I especially like the last one, reminiscent of the famous image by Ansel Adams.

The least visited section of the Needles District of Canyonlands NP lies north and west of the Visitor Center. Designated the Needles North Backpacking Zone, it forms a sizable portion of the district, and is dominated by larger and lesser canyons that terminate at the Colorado River. Access is either by hiking or by way of a 4WD road that parallels the archaeologically rich Salt Creek Canyon drainage.

The day was overcast. Hints of brightness broke through from time to time, but never enough to cast a hard edged shadow. The accompanying images are less 'photographs' than they are the products of a person with a camera who was overjoyed with the possibility of finally being able to get out to hike somewhere in less than triple digit temperatures.

Yet another outstanding set of captures ... makes me realize just how little of the area I've seen & clearly suggests getting back there. I was particularly interested in the Petrogliphs & your explanation. Thank you for sharing. But I have 1 question ... do you leave your keys in the "Yeep" at night?


Thanks, Frank. And sure, I leave the keys in the Yeep at night. Why wouldn't I?

Oh, did I mention I collect land mines? Got thousands of 'em. All makes and models. You oughta hear it when one of 'em goes BOOM in the middle of the night!

Super cool petroglyph. Looks like they visited a zoo.

There's no evidence of defacement that I can detect, at least not in 'modern' times. While its impossible to know absolutely, there appears to have been at least three distinct 'hands' (artisans, roquerteurs, whatever you want to call them) involved in the making of this panel. What I find 'interesting' about this particular set is the presence of what even I (and my criteria is more stringent than some) might call a single BCS (Barrier Canyon style - Archaic period/ca. 2000 bc -1 A.D.) figure --the painted anthro with the V-shaped head adornment and the gridded body -- on the left, with the remainder of the elements (both painted in red to the left of the rabbit-eared guy, and all the figures/meanders incised to the right which are typical of Late Prehistoric (ca. 950-1280 A.D. PII-PIII 'Anasazi') imagery.

Sites like this are always interesting, but they're a thousand times moreso when they're compared/contrasted to what else is in the more or less general vicinity.

Thanks for the informative reply. I have a never ending fascination for this stuff.

I've had some experience with those too. And those big feet have other uses as well. Azz kicking comes to mind.

Great set taken in less than ideal light, but at least it wasn't so hot. I've been there on two different tours and realize that they barely touched the surface. Your pictures inspire me to go back on my own and see more. Being a lover of weather damaged and dead trees, I really liked your last shot.
