Old Dad Mountain Petroglyphs
On a cold January day in 2015, I hiked out into the wilderness of the Old Dad Mountains in the Mojave Desert. Just driving out there was a bit of a challenge; the roads were long and rocky.
Carrot Men Pictographs
Off in western Colorado is a small canyon that cuts through sandstone with a unique set of blue and red pictographs.
Lone Warrior Pictograph
Cary's Sun Cave
Out in the area near Cary’s Castle is a fascinating pictograph site hidden under a large boulder. It took a few long hikes and a lot of research to track it down. And when we finally did find it, we didn’t get back to the trailhead until well
Super Cave Pictographs
Paiute Cave Pictographs
A set of Virgin Anasazi pictographs is inside a collapsed lava tube in the Arizona Strip. They believed that caves were the entrance to the spirit world. This is a sacred place.
The pictographs are protected from the elements by the cave ceiling, and as such, they are particularly vibrant.
Keystone Signpost Petroglyphs
This lone petroglyph boulder is way out in a wash deep into the Joshua Tree wilderness. We suspect it served as a signpost for Indians to find other sites which aren’t too far away.
The 'key' symbols are a very interesting element in this panel.
