9/13/18 Spirit Canyon PIctographs

Yesterday I was off so I headed to Spirit Canyon because some visitors to the Cliff Dwellings showed me photographs they had taken there and I wanted to see the pictographs myself. It took about an hour to drive there. I wasn't exactly sure where it was so I stopped at the Spirit Canyon General Store to ask for directions. The woman at the store told me that the pictographs were about an hours hike up this wash. (A 'wash' is a dry river bed.)

These were the first pictographs I saw. (The pictographs are the reddish-brown drawings on the cliff face.)

Then I saw these dots. I don't know if they were supposed to be pictographs, or the artist was just trying out the paint he made!

Now this is a really cool pictograph! What it is supposed to represent, I don't know, but the artist sure spent a lot of time drawing it!

What do you think these pictographs represent?

What about these? What do you think they represent? Your guess is as good as mine!

What about this?

Or this?

Or these? 

Look carefully. Can you see the Canyon Treefrog hiding in the crevice of the rock?

See it now? (Look for it's black eye . Once you see that, look for it's body and legs.) Doesn't it have great camouflage?

Look at this weird rock! What caused those bubble-like formations?

I saw this little lizard when I was sitting down in the wash taking a break. His camouflage is not as good as the Canyon Treefrog's!
