We even managed a couple outings to see some of the local rock art. This petroglyph panel is located in Kane Creek just outside Moab. The large figure on the left is at leat 5 feet tall. We expecailly like the owl figure.

When the aspens turn it's time for a trip up to the LaSal Mountains. Our timing was excellent, as a storm came in a couple days later and blew down most of the color.

When our friends Karl and Chris came to visit we headed for Arches, where Karl and Glenn explored the fiery furnace. The weather did not cooperate. We got rained on, hailed on 3 times, and experienced some exciting thunder, lightning, and wind. It was still very beautiful.

This is a nice rock art panel we were directed to and actually found. (not the usual outcome when we go looking for something like this) It is located near Trout Water Canyon in the Canyon Rims recreation area.

Back at Arches National Park, Zane checks out the sand under Sand Dune Arch.

Last outing for the year was to Aztec butte in Canyonlands National Park, where we found these nice Anasazi granaries, but no evidence that the Aztecs were ever there.
