Horseshoe Canyon: Rock Art Rocks, 3

And now, the exciting conclusion of our visit to Canyonlands National Park's Horseshoe Canyon...

A detail, still at the Great Gallery

Another detail; the volunteer ranger who patrols the canyon
daily arrived and enlightened us about the paintings, etc; said
the dinosaur footprint in the stream had been buried in floods
some years back, but told about other dinosaur footprints
elsewhere; and how to find the High Gallery, which we had
missed on the way in; until he arrived, we had had the canyon
to ourselves; five or six others arrived as we were marching
out

Last look at an unforgettable place

Back on the trail

Thus

A turn and high overhang in the canyon; there are many
horseshoe turns in this little canyon; a better name might
have been Serpentine Canyon

Trudging back down the canyon

Evidence of recent flash flooding all around

Thus; we saw enough flash flooding during our thirteen 
years in Dallas; don't need to see any more; I'll never 
forget the sensation when our Mazda began (briefly) 
floating its way down Abrams Road...

Not the face of Abraham Lincoln

And then appears the High Gallery

Thus; many people miss it, the ranger said, as we did initially,
because it is so much higher on the wall than expected

We returned to the Horseshoe Shelter, across the stream

For the ussie we forgot to take at the Great Gallery

And then began the 600 foot climb out of the canyon

Finding a dinosaur footprint

Next morning, after a great visit to Horseshoe Canyon, driving
out back to route 24
