Canyonlands Artwork Thanksgiving 2003

Went to the Canyonlands Needles District to look at artwork.

 

A Many Hands Panel. We saw many of the "Hundred Hands Panels" on this trip. This particular panel is near the "Blue Heron", which we did not see, because it is on the ceiling.

Archaic Portrait Gallery. Bunch of interesting anthropomorphs here, in the Archaic style, about 2000 years old.

Two guys hanging out.

Here's a closeup of a couple of the hands.

Alicia had always talked about how fun Jeeping was. So we did. No good pictures really, cause the light was very bad, but the jeeping was really, really fun. I had NO IDEA one could get a vehicle up these things. In this pic, you can see where the Park has filled in some areas with concrete to control the erosion on this very popular Jeep Trail.

More charging up steep hills. Wow.
