Petroglyphs

This picture was taken  in the Petroglyphs area of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah along Route 24.  Rock Art figures in Capitol Reef are mostly attributed to the Fremont people that inhabited the area from AD 600-1300.  Petroglyphs are carved or pecked figures depicting people, animals, and other shapes or forms.  These particular petroglyphs are seen along a sheer cliff that parallels Route 24 through the Park.  Not much is known or the meaning of these petroglyphs but they sure were impressive.
