Gunlock Petroglyphs

We took a little side trip while in Southern Utah in late 2010 to check out this incredible rock art site I had heard about. My photos aren’t the best, but the site didn’t disappoint. The site is a short hike up a steep hillside, which is best

Late in the spring of 2011, we were off exploring the backcountry of Utah’s San Rafael Swell. We spent a week or so off of paved roads and camping out. One of the spots we stopped at was the Silent Sentinel. It was the end of a long day,
