We also made one last quick stop at the Centipede Alcove The large dark figure just to the left of the center looks like a gorilla walking in profile to me…Ī closer look at the spiral on the right side of the boulder.Įasily Missed Spiral by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr They seem to be darker than the rock itself…very unusual! While in the alcove, I stumbled across a boulder that had some very faint petroglyphs on it.

Jackson climbing back up the old ‘cow trail’Ĭlimbing the Old Cow Trail by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr Near the end of our hike, we had to climb back up the old cow trail again. Jackson & the Guardian by IntrepidXJ, on FlickrĪfter exploring the large alcove, having some lunch and taking plenty of photos it was time to start hiking back to the Jeep. This large life-sized anthropomorph guards the entrance to the large alcove. This one kind of makes me wonder if there wasn’t a painted figure here that is now gone, but the scratched designs have remained? Here’s a very faint petroglyph of an anthropomorph. Large Faint Zoomorph by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr If you look closely, you might be able to find some other very faint petroglyphs on this wall, too.

Yellow Comet Panel by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr Here’s a few photos of the awesome Yellow Comet Panel, which is a very unique Barrier Canyon Style site. Yellow Comet Alcove by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr There’s not much left of it.Īfter scrambling down some large boulders and steep scree slopes the rest of the way, we were soon in the wash bottom and the rest of the hike was much easier.Īfter a few more miles we reached the large alcove that houses the Yellow Comet pictographs. There’s not much left of the trail, but it was still possible for us to get down even if it was a little tricky in places. Then rock, stones, branches and dirt were used to build a trail on top of these steel bars. The person who created this trail drilled holes into the sandstone and pounded in some steel bars. The route looks like it may have been an old cow trail, but I haven’t been able to find any information about who or when it was constructed. It was a short cross-county hike to the way down. I parked the Jeep as close as I could to the route down and we set off on our hike. A few weeks back I stopped by the area to see if I could find this alternate route down and did manage to find it. Luckily, I managed to find another way down into the canyon, but the hike in the canyon would be about 6 miles longer. The closest route to the pictographs is supposed to be difficult to find if you don’t already know where it is, plus there is supposed to be a very tricky section that I didn’t like the sound of. After researching a route to reach them, I found that there were two different ways down into the canyon. On Saturday, Jackson and I headed back to the Moab area to hike to the Yellow Comet pictographs.
