A Walk Back In Time


Since Maui was out of the question (HaHa) Gary and I
 had to settle for a week-end in St. George to celebrate
 our 34th Anniversary


Saturday was beautiful with temps in the 70's and so
we decided to hike to some Anasazi petroglyphs
that we had heard about


This is looking down on the Santa Clara River


After hiking for over an hour we finally came upon
these but seriously there were no more petroglyphs to be 
found and we're like we've hiked all this way for this?!


Disappointed we headed back down the trail.
After awhile we came upon some people gathered around
a group of rocks.  Come to find out we had hiked right
past not knowing that you have to hike down off the trail
among some boulders in order to find the petroglyphs
(Perhaps the BLM could mark that more clearly?  Just saying)


Anyway, as you can see we were happy to have finally 
found them and they were pretty amazing



 
Keep in mind that the "old goats" are to the
right of the picture . . .




We decided the Anasazi must have had a 
great sense of humor!!


Even though our hike ended up being 3 hours
long we really did enjoy our "Walk back in time"!

34 years and a 3 hour hike...thats amazing! At least you had some really pretty views on your 3 hour tour.
