Onto the False Kiva to find petroglyphs

After our hike we continue the drive down Kane Creek Road through some nice riparian area and beautiful canyons towards another place that we want to explore. While it has petroglyphs what we want to see is the dinosaur print rumored to be in the area.

We explore and explore and finally find it, it is barely visible but it is clearly a footprint from the past. We are quite happy to find it and take quite a few photos before moving on.

We then continue on to the petroglyphs which are more classical here but we still find one in the new “acupuncture” style that seems to be common in the Moab area.

To us it seems actually that the “acupuncture” style is actually better at preserving the figures that are drawn but there is no way to know without more research which I am sure has been done by actual researchers.

There is even a shelter or something similar near the panels but we are not sure if it is ancient or more modern. And then close by is the largest of the panels here with multiple petroglyphs including one that is always associated with aliens on “Ancient Aliens” even though likely it is just a shaman or something similar. And then it is time to descend and go back to Moab before continuing further north to spend the rest of the day hiking and finding a few caches.
