When we left Calf Creek we talked to some people who told us about some really neat Petroglyphs nearby - above the Escalante River. It was a hike up high to get to see them - but they were worth the climb. Zoomed in, the hands look like someone dipped hands into paint and then onto the cliff face.... The picture in the center shows where the hands are located.
We found a few petroglyphs on the hike. The one shown in the bottom photo is far more characteristic of others we have seen in the area, both on this trip, and prior trips. My favorites are Newspaper Rock and Rochester Panel, because they are so large, but seeing the smaller ones - little messages from the past tucked away in unexpected places - is neat, too.
