Newspaper rock

Juano

I spend the last few days in Moab and had a chance to see the Newspaper rock. It is incredible, unfortunately it has been vandalized over the years.

Wow! Moab is one of my favorite places! Can't express that enough....the Micro brewery there alone is worth the trip! Was not aware of this rock. This is an excellent series! The kind that Moab Chambers of commerce should use, as it would convince visitors to line up! Great stuff!

Thanks. there are several petroglyphs near Moab. Newspaper rock is about an hour's drive South. I agree with you that Moab is a fabulous place. I have been going there to mountain bike in spring a fall for the past couple of years. The views are breathtaking.

:cool
I'm jealous... double jealous. :cry

Great shots Cristóbal - thanks for the wide view in #1!
Fascinating images and symbols... a precursor to photography in a way - the urge to communicate visually.

Really good documentation work, Cristóbal. Like Eric, I appreciate the full view in # 1. I always get a bit of a strange feeling when I'm around such pronounced evidence of an earlier time.

Well done, buddy,

You should really try to MTB there, slick rock is unique, in addition there are tons of trails.

In relation to the petroglyphs, I guess this is where "posting on my wall" comes from!

Thanks Tom.
