I have many posts that feature these unique petroglyphs — they have been called “water glyphs” on the internet and I’ve also heard them called “cup and channel” glyphs. There are so many theories about what the heck they mean — but I’m not sure anyone is really sure? Living …
Warm winter days in t-shirts are my fav. Another one of my favorite things is returning to a much loved archaeological site in the middle of the wilderness on one of these exact warm, blue-sky days. Behold the ‘Maze’ petroglyph rock. This site has become a public site over the …
My friend Lauren lovvvvvveees petroglyphs so she’s always hittin’ me up to take her to ALL the places. 🙂 It’s so much fun and I LOVE showing people these super rad sites. This particular site is not too far from home (Kanab) but still requires a little bit of navigating …
Easter Sunday during a pandemic. Such strange times. We decided to do a little off-roading — hoping that our trusty Xterra would make it to some new gnarly spots in the southern Utah desert. I had some GPS data from a friend that would lead us to a really cool …

Twinsies It’s winter break! Yay! That means, despite the horrid, cold weather… I will entice my children to do fun and amazing outdoor things. 🙂 We recently went back to visit The Davinci Man petroglyph panel. This freakin awesome rock art is found just south of St. George, UT. It’s …
Rainy days usually make me sad. But even rain can’t keep Zion National Park from being awesome. Actually — we found magic today. We were at the very right place.. at the very right time. And lower canyon was transformed into a mega wonderland of waterfalls — practically 100000 of …
Sometimes I just need to get outside for an hour or two — after work — as the sun is setting. JJ and I first tried to find an elusive waterglyph nearby (FAIL) so instead I headed to a local favorite called The Clamshell. My adventure buddy for the evening. …
