Who Knew

I’ve lived in the Zion National Park area for the last 16 years but until recently, did not know these 2 interesting artifacts existed nearby. Less than an hours drive are some dinosaur tracks and Native American Indian rock art know as pictographs. Pictographs are painted onto the rock and petroglyphs are carved into the sandstone.

The figure of a man is on the right and on the left is a small Desert Bighorn Sheep.

The dinosaur that made these tracks is the Dilophosaurus which resided in this area about 190 million years ago during the Jurassic Period.

The Caineville Badlands

These are near Factory Butte badlands and not as stark but do have appeal. I need to explore this area more.

The Mineral rich badlands of Caineville Butte is composed of Mancos Shale while sulfur and gypsum deposits provide the yellow colort during erosion and weathering over millions of years.

Snow-Covered Hoodoos? What’s A Hoodoo?

Hoodoos are those sandstone spires you see a lot in Southern Utah, especially at Bryce Canyon. Erosion has carved a unique rock formation that isn’t easily duplicated. They had just received 8 inches of fresh powder so I had to check it out last week. By the way, it was one degree (F)
