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!

Swasey’s cabin was built in 1921 by the locally well-known Swasey brothers as a line cabin. They would stay out here to watch over their cattle. Out behind the cabin, in one of the canyons, they had an icebox setup where they would store meats and any other foodstuffs.

It’s possible there are a few more petroglyphs around in the immediate area. I’ll have to come back
