The reason we came to Wellington, Utah is because I wanted to see the Nine Mile Canyon Petroglyph site. I had read alot about it and used some of the petroglyphs in my glass work.
Entrance to Nine Mile Canyon. Petroglyph panel. There were tons of them, I won’t show them all , you will just have to come here.
Balanced Rock. Nine Mile Canyon is a long narrow canyon with very fertile fields. From the early native americans to present day people have farmed here.
Old corral at the entrance to Daddy Canyon. One of the many panels at Daddy Canyon.
Views of Daddy Canyon.
Lots of deer in the canyon, glyphs of elk, ballon man and buffalo. This area is unique with all the buffalo glyphs.
I liked this guy with the big headdress on. More glyphs and a spider web.
Flowers, another elk and I hope this red animal is not a pictograph, or who ever put the no tresspassing sign over it is jerk. An unusual panel, looks like lots of rain.
The Great Hunt Panel is really why I wanted to come here. The sign says it is very famous and reproduced by many artists, of which I am one. Here is a piece of my glass with it in it. It was cool to see it in person.
John with the Big Buffalo. It is supposed to be the biggest buffalo glyph in the canyon.
