Sheep Canyon to Harmon Canyon

The photographs on this page are found between Sheep and Harmon Canyons. None require walking more than a few feet off the road, and most are easily seen from the side of the road. That said, if there wasn't anything indicating that they were on private property, we often got a bit close for a better photo.

This was a really tight space. I had to stick my arm in with the camera, guess, and release the shutter.

Sean was able to get in a little farther. Helmick p. 104-106.

These two are closeups of the figures on the left of the photo above.

These squares of dots are common in all parts of the canyon.

The next five photos are closeups of this panel.

The animal on the bottom and the bird on the left look like they were carved or ground out, unlike the others, which were pecked, like most petroglyphs in the canyon.
