Somewhere Saturday- Newspaper Rock

This post shows a lovely example of Native American petroglyphs in Moab, Utah. The photograph is striking, and I bet it is even more impressive in person. It is interesting to see these in comparison to the Great Lakes petroglyphs, and what we will see in the coming weeks of Native American arts.

Newspaper Rock

The first time I was in Moab, my dad and I made the hour long drive just to see this incredible work of art. Being an anthropology major, this was something I was desperate to see! Newspaper Rock is a huge rock with petroglyphs carved into it, the oldest are believed to be around 2,000 years old! Incredible! If you’re in the area and interested in archaeology or Native American culture, go!

‘Somewhere Saturday’s’ are short and simple posts: just a picture from a place I’ve been with a very brief explanation, but there is a link to the longer post above.
