Starting a new thread with photos from #NineMileCanyon in #Utah.

This is one of the most concentrated collections of #RockArt in the US. Mostly pecked #Petroglyphs that are from 800 to 200 years old, with a few red painted #Pictographs mixed in.

Note there is a new problem with #vandalism to these important artifacts. 🙁 Everyone should work to protect them!

There was an iconic "Oval Man" figure I'd never seen before repeated in several places.

The most elaborate version was on this magnificent panel. There are sheep, stars, what I think are water/rain symbols, and two human figures that appear to be holding something above their heads. Wow!
