Petroglyphs and rock climber (Sunday, August 19, 2018)

Along Utah Highway 279, near Moab, are petroglyphs from the Archaic Period (6000-1000 B.C.)  How does art, exposed to the elements, last for up to 8,000 years?


Looking across the Colorado River from the petroglyphs

Growing wild beneath the petroglyphs are sunflowers and moonflowers, a touch of home!

Rock climbers travel from around the world to Utah Highway 279 (aka "Wall Street") to try one of the many routes.
