Rock Art Escalante Utah


Petroglyphs (rock engravings) are scattered through-out Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
 The Ancient People were very industrious with the carving below. Any one can interpret the story, but we'll never know what the artist (or artists) wanted to convey. This panel can be found in the mouth of Neon Canyon, Escalante, Utah.


This pictrogragh (rock art that is drawn or painted on rock face), can be 
found off Highway 12, NE of the Bridge where Calf Creek and Escalante River converge.
Got to hand it to the Ancient People: they were here before us.
