I had visited this petroglyph panel earlier in the day when it was overcast and had taken a few photos, however once the clouds started to clear and the sun was shining again I revisited it to take a few more photos. I’m glad I did since I got a nice orange glow reflecting off of the rock, plus a nice blue sky with some white clouds in the background.

A closer look at the figured I have called ‘The Couple’ located along the Three Kings Trail.

 

Weeping Man

Another of the many life-sized anthromorphic figures along the Main Trail. This one has the ‘weeping eyes’ and seems to be holding an object, perhaps a knife or other kind of weapon?
