Just a few miles from home, across the state line into Arizona, I find myself scrambling down ledges, precariously balancing on wobbly boulders perched high above the ground below, looking carefully at each step to find a route down to the overhang that displays a magnificent work of art. On …
It’s been many many years since I’ve visited this crazy amazing rock art site — the boys were a lot smaller and I remember having to carry JJ at least part of the way up the rocky and winding trail. The artwork is intricate and vibrant! It’s really unlike any …
Double glyph that I found in Kanab, UT There’s a new type of petroglyph that I’m currently obsessed with 😁. These very distinct rock carvings are seen around the Arizona Strip region of the northern Southwest. And here in Kanab where I live, there’s a whole bunch of them — …
Human centipede weirdness Finding new rock art sites makes me happy. Today my friend Jen (who’s just as obsessed w/ rock art — maybe more — than me) said she knew of a place that had some amazing panels and thought we could easily hike to them in a winter’s …

Davinci Man panel in southern Utah Let me tell you about our day. It was pretty SWEEEEET. We were all set to go to Harry’s Lego scrimmage (this is a thing.) but JJ got the pukes so it was just me and Harry on our way to Dixie State University …
I’m totally obsessed with this place! Located kinda near Page, AZ (Churchwells, to be more precise), this super remote and other-wordly place is called Colorful Canyon. And it’s FANTASTIC! Uh huh. Where’s Waldo? We set out to find the Twisted Hoodoo — a really top heavy rock spire with a …
