Salt Creek Exploring & The Drive Home
Memorial Weekend in The Needles | Day 3
Memorial Day | Monday, May 28, 2012
After another night of great camping weather we had some breakfast and set out hiking so that we could visit the Flying Carpet Panel. We also explored a few small side canyons before hiking back out to our vehicles near Cave Spring.
This is one of my favorite Barrier Canyon Style pictograph panels, but unfortunately I haven’t made it here in good light yet. Maybe next time…

Here’s Jared taking a photo for some scale of the figures painted here.

Love the Dolores and Unaweep Canyons. Supposedly there are some “hieroglyphs” near Uravan. At least that’s what the locals tell me. Have you seen them?
