Moon Flower Petroglyph Panel (Grand County, Utah)

 On our way back to town, Nick and I stumble across yet another bonus petroglyph panel. This one is referred to as the Moon Flower Panel, named for the side canyon at who's mouth it sets. We pull the car over for a quick examination. This is an interesting panel, but unfortunately, it has been vandalized extensively. I suspect this is at least partially due to it's proximity to the road and easy access. I wish people would take better care of these works of art. The panel itselv contains several images of rams and sheep, parallel undulating lines (which may represent water), and a strange image that I'm unable to identify. It may be a flower or some other natural item. Either way, this is a pretty interesting panel. It's time to call it a night though as darkness is beginning to settle on the desert.
