Shamans Gallery is an impressive rock art site at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s accessed via Tuckup Trail, which is a 100 mile route that originates at Toroweap Point. To get to this amazing panel (truly, this is not only one of my favorite sites in the …
Every weekend I go on the internet looking for somewhere new to explore. I found a blog about this elusive man carved into a rock near Cedar City, UT. Locals refer to him as Shot Put Man. Going on just a few bits and pieces of info, we headed over …
