Lone Warrior Pictograph
The Lone Warrior Pictograph is all by himself in the San Rafael Swell country of the Utah desert near Swasey's Cabin. He is a Barrier Canyon style warrior figure and well worth a visit.
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
This sandstone rock shelter in southern Nevada has an interesting assortment of pictographs. Native American Southern Paiute and Mohave made their homes here, and either could have made these markings. The site itself looks like it could have been a small encampment above a wash.
I explored a few different
Paiute Lava 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.
No directions
Owl Panel (Nine Mile Canyon)
Hidden away in a short side canyon of Nine Mile Canyon is this fantastic little petroglyph panel of owls. How often do you see owl petroglyphs? For me, it isn’t very often. They are pretty amazing. There is even more than one owl here! Spectacular!
If you visit this
Agai Pah Pictographs
Agai Pah is the Northern Paiute name for Trout Lake or Walker Lake as we know it today. This is an intriguing pictograph site. Located on an isolated boulder, red pictographs appear on a single side of the boulder. Different people have taken different meanings from the symbols.
