There are a series of human forms along this wall.
This animal is clearly of the deer family - with horns, and it's body appears to be pierced with several arrows.
Such expressive figures!
There were a lot of shield images.
We noticed a couple of young birds nesting in a fissure right above a group of petroglyphs.
I've been told that these are falcon babies - probably peregrine falcons.
Looks like they are guarding the petroglyphs!
There is a beautiful stream running through the site. Great for a refreshing wade. It is easy to understand why this narrow canyon would be chosen as home to so many civilizations.
We enjoyed our picnic lunch at a table along the stream, under the cool shade of a majestic cottonwood tree. Note Joe's new arm brace - he has some mobility now! Yipee!
The rock formations in this area were really interesting.
This was really interesting - one of the lower layers has eroded away - making it appear that the upper strata are floating on air!
I took a lot of pictures and the ideas for quilts are filling my brain!
Left to right - our road trip party - Joe, Caleb and Michelle.
That looks like a fascinating site. WHere is it exactly? There is a park in Southern Alberta called Writing on Stone park which has some similarities. We are always looking for places like that to visit.
