-November15: Come join us as we explore prehistoric Utah with Larry
Amundson through rock art and ruin sites captured in photography.
The San Rafael Swell contains the Buckhorn Wash, Rochester,
Black Dragon and Moore Road Snake rock art sites.
A hike into the remote Barrier Canyon in Canyonlands National
Park provides access to possibly the best group of pictographs on the entire
Colorado Plateau. Many of the ghostly figures in the Great Gallery are
life-sized and are at least 2000 years old and pre-date the Anasazi.
Venture into the Escalante River Canyons on the Hole in the
Rock Road near Escalante, Utah to experience multicolored slickrock, arches,
narrow slot canyons and unusual rock art.
The PowerPoint presentation will also include photos of hikes
into remote canyons in the Cedar Mesa area. The Green Mask Ruins and pictograph panel in
Sheiks Canyon and the 49 room Moonhouse
Ruins in McCloyd Canyon are both well-preserved sites and were occupied around
800 years ago.
Larry Amundson is a Riverton native, past President and
current Treasurer of the Fremont County Archaeological Society.
