We spent the weekend in Bluff, UT searching for rock art and Indian ruins with friends from our college days in Arizona. We stayed at the old Adams House in Bluff which is nearly 120 years old.
We hiked up to Monarch ruins on Comb Ridge and were rewarded with wonderful pictographs on the walls and excellent scenery from these beautifully preserved towers. It took us about an hour to hike up to the towers.
Below are some nice examples of 1,000 year old pictographs we found on the walls near the towers. They were fairly small. Were they the hands of children? Or, could they have been the hands of adults who were smaller over 1,000 years ago?
We also hiked up to procession panel on comb ridge. Ed is pictured below with a couple of deer and a long procession of people hiking up and down over the ridge. Notice the deer on the left has a spear coming out of its stomach. Evidently, it was a depiction of some Anasazi game and future meal. Needless to say, we had a great time. More on this trip tomorrow.
