The Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player often with a huge phallus and feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head. Kokopelli embodies the true American Southwest, and dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling, flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many Southwestern Native Americans. Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the Southwest. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music.
(make sure to stand on top of the hill and look to the east at the beauty of Capital Reef National Park)
