San Rafael Swell and Rock Art

We spent a couple of nights in the town of Green River, Utah, so we could revisit some favorite sites in the San Rafael Swell. The San Rafael Swell is a geological structure that has caused a 30 mile long wall of rock in central Utah.




The first place we revisited was the prehistoric pictograph site in Black Dragon Canyon.







Utah Penstemon



Roughseed Cryptantha



Pretty Buckwheat



Next we drove to the Head of Sinbad 
 pictograph site.








Fremont's Barberry



On to revisit Dutchman's Arch





White-tailed Antelope Squirrel



Rabbit



Driving back towards Green River, we stopped at an overlook where I-70 bisects the San Rafael Swell.
