Today we went out to the south end of Canyonlands National Park. Our first stop was at Newspaper Rock where there are some pictographs that date back over 2000 years. Despite some vandalism they are remarkably well preserved and numerous details can be made out. It is not known whether the figures represent story telling, doodling, hunting magic, clan symbols, ancient graffiti or something else.
We were treated to some periods of blue sky so we didn't waste the opportunity to get some shots with interesting clouds.
As always I'm interested in the flora. This is a Narrowleaf Yucca (Yucca angustissima).
On our drive back to Moab we stopped at Wilson's Arch. This is an arch that is right on the side of the highway and we were fortunate to find it without any people.
