Geocache Description:


While exploring Nine Mile Canyon, we happened upon this nearby set of petroglyphs off of the main road. We saw several interesting pictures: a sun-cross, several different deer / antelope, some more modern day vandalism (initials),  a man with a halo or connecting horns above his head, what may have been a cougar, etc. When I climbed up to get a closer look, I saw several more that were faded, but quite fascinating nonetheless. It was a relatively easy climb up (though the very young or older folks may want to avoid the scramble up) to get a closer look at these marvelous examples of ancient Native American art.

In honor of this artwork, I thought a letterbox cache would be appropriate. Have fun, be safe, and please respect this ancient artwork (and leave the stamp for future cachers). Feel free to post pictures of yourself and these cool glyphs!
