Some of the most spectacular rock art in Utah is to be found in Nine Mile Canyon northeast of Price. The canyon is actually 40 miles long, do not let the name deceive you. Nine Mile Canyon is remote, hostile, unblemished and roughly beautiful. Called "the world's longest art gallery" it is home to numerous rock art panels, including the famous "Hunter Panel". Most of the rock art was created by the Fremont Indians who occupied this area some 1,000 years ago.
Our group extended down the canyon for miles. It was almost like the Jeep Safari in Moab.
The view was spectacular. I had to wonder, What were those Indians doing so far up in the mountains?
Cody is riding on the back of the Can-Am with Hunter. They're good buddies.
If there are rocks to climb, Cody and Hunter will be found climbing them. Here they are at one of the picture panels our Indian ancestors left for us.
Here is the famous Hunter Panel. It is a lot bigger than it looks .If you go, I would suggest to go in smaller groups than what we did. We were going so slow that our own dust was catching up with us. I would like to go back and check out a few more of the sights. Maybe one day...
