Nine Mile Canyon-- Avenue of Ancient Art

We spent the afternoon rock art hunting in Nine Mile Canyon east of Price, Utah. This remote canyon actually contains mile after mile of rock art dating back 1000 years to the Fremont culture and up to 18th century Utes. By some estimates there are 10,000 images on these canyon walls.

At the upper reaches of the canyon we saw "The Great Hunt" panel. Archaeologists believe that with such detail this panel may depict an actual bighorn sheep hunt from centuries ago.

The highlight of the canyon was a glyph of a pregnant bison; complete with a horned baby bison in utero. And women think they have tough deliveries.Baca lagi
