The sign at the picnic area doesn't tell you where to find this pictograph, only that it exists. Many visitors end up walking up the stream to find the pictograph. (we did!) Turns out it was closer to the parking area and road---Jeff, you found it, reverently filmed this most stoic, regal and beautiful Moqui Queen. Thanks so much for sharing your trips. Love them!

This picto site is commonly known as 'The Moki Queen'. In the canon of BCS rock art, this 'Big Shoulders' type is less than common, but other examples can be seen at the Great Gallery in the Horseshoe Canyon Unit of Canyonlands and at a site south of Moab. The figure alongside the anthro is generally felt to be what's left of a sheep, but one 'researcher' regarded it as a 'legless duck'. A quick archaelolgical 'dig' done many years ago revealed the base of a structure and slab-lined cysts (archaic 'storage' places) nearby. There are two very nice petro panels slightly north of the parking area and (at least) three others several miles north, right along the road.

I was thinking that "duck" could possibly be a grouse or a wild turkey. I know that the indigenous ancient people used turkeys not just for food, but also for clothing. They'd skin the bird, keeping the smaller feathers in long narrow straps. They then would weave the various straps together to make capes, or other items. I'm sure that with feathers, it provided some form of warmth and protection from the elements. Longer feathers for ceremonial uses. In the summer of 1990, I worked with Dr's Metheny and Metheny, doing a survey of Nine Mile Canyon and saw a grave that had the ancient corpse wrapped in a feather shawl, along with other grave goods. The grave was a hole dug down in the sandstone and covered with a large, flat stone. The reason we were surveying Nine Mile was because it hadn't been done since the last time around the 1900's. We do know that John Wesley Powell explored that canyon on one of his explorations. I think it was the expedition of the Green River. That was a great summer. I learned a lot of things during with the crew. I even brought my kids and they put them to work too! 😅

@@kurttate9446 Certainly not. Simply a shorthand way of saying 'bighorn' (without having to project whether it's a ram or an ewe, a desert bighorn or a mountain goat, etc.), especially since whatever the figure might actually depict isn't all that obvious to begin with.

Red ochres are fine grained sandstones with more than 10% iron oxide. Therefore they look like blood (Yellow ochres have some 5%). The white paint (shell embroidery and hanging feathers?) is most likely pipe clay or kaolin. This weathers away much faster, so is mainly still visible on good sheltered locations.

I wonder if the dots of white on the head and on the garment are meant to depict cowrie shells? You could find them on shores in what's now California and South America, and they were traded all over and are relatively easy to drill holes into and sew onto garments. They've been found in cave tombs and in burial sites all across the country, and traditionally were considered women's symbols. The setting of this pictograph is amazing-- it feels like a holy place, and there were definitely medicine holes drilled into the pictograph for gathering dust to use (I've seen that in a lot of sites, particularly in Chevalon Canyon in Arizona.) Also, did you notice the turkey-track petroglyph at the base of the pictograph? The white coloring is almost certainly white bentonite or kaolin clay; it was used a lot for this sort of thing, sometimes mixed with animal fat. Interesting thing: if white clay is subjected to high heat for a few hours, it can turn jet black-- one site I went to had animal figures and the Mother of Game in pictographs where a huge fire had been burned, and they'd gone black but kept their designs perfectly. The ranger explaining them to me and other hikers told us what had happened.

I got to see the ruins down in the bottom of Canyon De Chelly on my trip to Arizona and not only was the solo hiking route to the bottom still open, I got to meet some of the Native people who still lived down on the Canyon floor. I was on a missions trip in north central New Mexico building a community center on the Navajo reservation outside Farmington and got to go to a bunch of sites with amazing pictographs and found some cool ruins as well, even experienced Saint Elmo's Fire from Canyon De Chelly's rim as we were getting to summit right as a gnarly storm swept througn the canyon bringong a lot of lightning strikes to the bed. Those trips are a fond memory, and your videos remind me why I need to spend this next summer exploring more of the four corners region. Maybe I'll spend a week or two backpacking and camping around Utah this time! My buddy who drove from Pennsylvania to NM with me at the time stayed to do precisely that after our church trip ended. I always envied that decision as I took a flight home with everyone else. Maybe I'll get to do what I wish I'd done 15+ years ago. Thank you for taking us with you, as always!! ❤️⚡💙

It's near Fish Lake in central/southern Utah. Pando is a clonal Aspen grove reprted to be a contender for records in several categories including: oldest living thing at 40000 years, heaviest living thing, most area covered by a single organism. It would be nice to see you document it before human activity kills it.

Hi just to give some info on the shallow indention near the wall, people would dig shallow sleeping beds, some would heat up rocks near the fire and place them in these dig out beds and place sand back over them for warmth during the night. Sand is a very good heat conductor so you can lay out furs and skins on them and stay toasty all night long. Temperatures even in the desert can be very cold, you can even get hypothermia at 70F if you don't stay warm in the deserts at night. The rocks stacked along the beds was there for wind protections when you slept, you can lean sticks against the walls anchored by the rocks to lay out skins across for a crude lean-to shelters.

Oddly Carnegie Hall was built for music & sound, taking advantage of the science of acoustics within architecture to maximise & enhance sound This Alcove edifice also has accoustics & echo capabilities & Probably chosen as a sacred place because of the sounds it can make, and as I believe the ancient cultures were able to draw out the natural sounds in places & nature. Maybe even the architect of Carnegie Hall studied the acoustics & harmonies at this very place & designed his famous music venue Because of these qualities...?
