-- Site 1--
Snow Canyon is a state park located in southwestern Utah.
The amount of Spanish and Indian evidence in this canyon is staggering.
According to documents I have seen, the Piute Indians made this area their
home long ago.
Most of the markings we located were likely make by them, but a few appeared
to be of Spanish origin.
At site 1 we found evidence of both on the same panel. It will be a while
at least, before we can determine why it is that way.
(I'm sorry the photos taken inside the crack are out of focus. Next time we
will try a manual focus camera.)
In the mean time we hope you enjoy the pictures.

Snow Canyon has a variety of landscape from sand dunes to cliffs to boulders
and everything in-between.
If one can put up with the difficulty of traversing this landscape a treasuretrove
of history awaits.

As my daughter and I entered this crack she noticed a cross
carved into the sandstone and we knew we were in for a treat.

Now this is adventure!
The walls of this crack are literally covered with petroglyphs.
Several animals were depicted on the walls including big horn sheep,
turtles and others.
