Good Petroglyphs Hunting [Cross Canyon]

With friends visiting from Durango we took a day off to explore two nearby canyons known for their petroglyphs and Anasazi ruins. Cross and Montezuma Canyons are only a few miles from Hovenweep but run diagonally away from it for about 40 miles. So we piled into Susan and Donn Hicks' truck and headed down the dusty, cattle strewn dirt road.

It was a wonderful day of discovery.Leia mais
