Postash Road Rock Art

Information about the Potash Road Rock Art:
"Archaeologists believe that most the petroglyphs were done by the Southern San Rafael Fremont culture, which flourished between 600 A.D. and 1300 A.D. The Fremont art includes older portrayals of animals, lines of hand-holding men and triangular figures with horns, spears and shields.

The more modern petroglyphs, including the horsemen and many of the hunting motifs appear to be the work of Ute Indians in relatively recent times. They show less weathering and less attention to detail than the Fremont rock art."

Blue Skies and Clear Waters

Not much can beat the beautiful blue skies and clear cool water of the Virgin River in Zion National Park.  The Virgin River is not always this clear, many times of the year it is completely brown or orange from rain and runoff.  June 2010.
