pteroglyphs




























The local natives painted on the walls of the Escalante River and the main canyon the settlers used to get travel through. We wondered what kind of "paint" they used, was it from berries, or blood, or a type of plant or flower? It was in a protected spot on an rock that was not exposed to the sun very much.

The wind carved some interesting pockets on this soft sandstone.
