Birthing Rock

When I first started traveling the western states, I thought petroglyphs were fairly rare. Four years later, I have discovered they are fairly ubiquitous covering vast areas from Mexico to Canada. I now refer to them as "early American graffiti". That said, it is still pretty impressive realizing that you are looking at something that is hundreds, if not thousands of years old.

The Birthing Rock (N38.31.321 W109.36.168) just off the Chicken Corners trail has some great petroglyphs including one that gave it its name, a figure apparently giving birth...

On the way back, I took a photo of the Poison Spider arch...
