Moab Area Rock Art XI | Tuesday, June 21, 2011
I’ve been anticipating the Summer Solstice for much of the year so that I could visit the Solstice Snake petroglyph. For about two minutes on the Summer Solstice a dagger of light shaped like an arrowhead appears on the head of this very large and well executed petroglyph of a snake. I wanted to be there to get a photo of the sun interaction and am glad that the weather cooperated. It was an amazing experience!

On Saturday morning I was headed to Moab in search of some more rock art, but on my way there I made a short detour into the Book Cliffs to find a few pictograph panels. Here’s a few photos from the Book Cliffs.

I wanted to get out with my Jeep for a few hours today, and ended up exploring an area of the Book Cliffs I have not been to before, just west of the Colorado/Utah state line. The roads were easy, but the scenery was great, and I didn’t see another vehicle the whole time.

This past weekend I finally got around to completing a trail that has been on my to-do list for quite a while….The Kokopelli Trail. When people hear the name Kokopelli, they usually associate this trail with mountain biking. While it is indeed a popular mountain biking route, this trail follows old four-wheel drive roads for much of the way. There are only a few sections of singletrack that need to be bypassed.

Today, Amanda and I headed to the Book Cliffs in Utah for a little day trip. We started out by heading to Crescent Junction. Instead of hopping on the interstate, we decided to take the old abandoned US Highway 6 & 50 as far as we could.
