Dry Fork – McConkie Ranch | Set 1
Saturday, March 12, 2011
Finally! I have wanted to get up to Dry Fork and check out the petroglyphs and pictographs on the McConkie Ranch for a while, so on Saturday Amanda and I headed up there for the day. These rock art panels are located on private property north of Vernal, but the McConkie Ranch has created two trails to view the rock art and allows the public to access them. I’d like to thank the McConkie Ranch for allowing the public to access the rock art located on their property!
Here’s a few photos I took in no particular order. Enjoy!
Looking up at a couple of the many petroglyph panels along the Three Kings Trail. Most of the morning was completely overcast, but luckily as we were headed back to the trailhead the clouds started to clear and blue skies were visible.
A simple red spiral pictoglyph (petroglyph & pictograph) along the Main Trail.
One of the many large anthropomorphic figures alone the Three Kings Trail. I named this photo after the figure to the right that looks like the letter Y.
This petroglyph & pictograph kind of reminds me of a clock. Actually, the long hand pointing towards the three o’clock position looks like an atlatl hitting the bullseye.
The Twins are the last set of petroglyphs along the Main Trail.
The famous Three Kings Panel, also known as the Sun Carrier is pretty amazing. Unfortunately, it’s located pretty high and the trail does not get too close to it. Luckily I had my 100-400mm lens with me!
I’ve got plenty more photos to go through, and will be posting them as I have the time, so stay tuned for more!
