We spent the entire afternoon & early evening exploring at the bottom of those cliff bands..... We came across one alcove that was fenced off and as much as I wanted to crawl under that fence to see what I could see, I didn't do it.....and it just killed me not to do that..... This was...

Foy.....thanks so much.....it had your name all over it..... the deputy.....I'm with you.....I love rocks but only to climb on them..... After a good night's sleep in the high desert, we headed further south along Highway 191 making our first and only stop in Moab, Utah for a hot shower...

Ace.....unfortunately.....so true..... Not much further to the south is the Mill Canyon Dinosaur Trail..... This place was much like the last place.....signage everywhere.....and kind of boring..... And once again I wasn't so impressed with what I saw.....I think my interest level was...

Mekcanix, Sierra Valley, & the deputy.....thanks guys..... We continued driving south along Highway 191.....but not too far south.....as we were in no hurry. We spent a few nights dispersed camping on BLM land and getting out in the Jeep to continue to explore the high desert...

AlwaysRoaming.....I'll definitely go back.....I loved the little bit that I saw and I'll bet that there's all kinds of cool stuff up and in there.....and no people..... klahanie.....I once had a couple sets of high dollar crampons that the renters next door to me stole. They probably would have...

Unfortunately there was plenty of vandalism here.....as there has been at every rock art site that we've visited on this trip..... I had an opportunity to speak with a ranger while gassing up in Green River, Utah and what he told me was actually fairly disturbing. For instance, he said that...

Ace.....I sure wish that I could have experienced more. The cold, the winds & the snow just wore me down.....there's three canyons right there and we barely saw the one..... Now I had a plan for the following day.....we'd drive as far as we could in the Jeep and when the road got too bad...

We got about 6 or 7 miles of hiking in that day.....on the way out we stopped at the Sago Canyon Cemetery..... I've always found the old cemeteries to be a place of interest for me.....some stones tell their story..... The day passed by quickly.....we explored so much of that...

We spent the night at a dispersed campsite on BLM land just south of Price, Utah. The next day we headed into town to air up my third set of newly installed leaking Firestone Airbags (I just can't seem to win with these things). Then we drove south.....along Highway 191.....eventually connecting...

Then came The Owl  Panel..... Lots more good stuff here..... And last.....and probably the finest of all.....The Great Hunt panel. Make sure to read the sign below as it's filled with great information. And if you're anything like me, I usually don't bother reading these signs when...

Ace.....that's truly unfortunate that you missed the rock art.....some of Utahs' best is located there. That canyon is chock-full of the stuff. As best I recall, every signpost was accompanied by a gravel parking area or a pull out area. The road in the bottom of the canyon is still...

There was quite an abundance of petroglyphs to study (yes study, I'm really getting into these things)..... In the next picture are indentations in the stone.....I assume that this is where they ground their corn over & over again.....they do appear to be convex in the picture but please...

ITTOG.....I definitely would shut it down if that was my property. I actually don't understand why he continues to allow access.....it can't be for the money..... AlwaysRoaming.....yes, we finally did visit the Book Cliffs but our vist was brief.....only for 2 days. It was just too cold to...

PNWY.....thanks for posting your trip report. I'm enjoying the pictures (the food pics too) and it all brings back fond memories. Times sure have changed over these past decades. Back in the day, you could just wander around and there were no crowds. I see you took the fancy train ! I was...

So I did my thing once again.....walking along the bottom of the cliffs.....staring out into the valley.....and just admiring the beautiful petroglyphs..... At far end of the cliffs.....there is one absolutely incredible petroglyph panel..... The 3 Kings Panel.....you can just barely see...

PNWY.....and it's rampant.....it's everywhere..... We spent the remainder of the day at the McConkie Ranch Petroglyphs.....just to the northwest of Vernal,Utah..... These petroglyphs are located on private land and the owner allows visitors to his property and simply asks for a $5...

Arjan.....yes, that's the book that I'd recommend. Regarding the European license plates, yes of course they'd be cool to have but honestly I'm not a collector of license plates.....they just seem to have found their way into my life. So I appreciate the offer but seriously it's not important to...

Ace.....I've been freezing every day of this trip.....but still having fun..... The highway south eventually took us into Utah as we passed through the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area..... The change in scenery now.....those massive red cliffs that Utah is so well known...

the deputy.....I can watch Shark Tank & NFL Football.....that's about it for me..... ITTOG.....it's just my man cave.....oil paintings that my son painted for me & vintage climbing gear.....a few items from my past international travels.....that's about it for me..... I saw this graffiti at...

Your ranch land looks much like a 360 parcel of land that I've been eyeing near Big Timber, Montana. It's absolutely beautiful ! Do you see yourself and your family living there one day ? I sure would be tempted.
