Rock pictures in Sego Canyon, UT

Pictographs (pick- tow-Grafs) are paintings on rock usually painted in red.

Petroglyphs (pet- row-glifs) are pictures carved into the rocks usually faded if they are old.

PS this is a fact

Looking for fossils is dirty work.

We drove big red in to a giant mud puddle. It was soooooo fun we did it again and again. 

He was dirty so we had to go to a car wash.

Dirty big red before.

Clean big red after.

Fossil point UT

We went to fossil point UT! We looked for fossils and bones of dinosaurs! We found a couple bones. Looking...

We give up 

Going down 

Bones

And we have made it down!

We found lots of rocks! They were not all the same color. There was cool colored dirt too! 

2 blue berry muffins for each of us!

Yum! We got blueberry muffins from the Budget inn motel! The man made them him self! They're so good!

SOOOOO TEMPING TO EAT!!

Back in Utah

We are heading east towards home. I-70 through Utah is breathtaking. We stopped at every overlook.

The light was perfect and the storm made it nice and cool. Not the typical summer Utah weather.

(In case you were wondering... Ali is in her pajamas. Day 28 was apparently PJ Day. And we are all in need of a shower!)

Bristlecone Trail

Amazing trees that grow at high elevations and live for thousands of years. They are shaped by the elements and twist into some amazing shapes. They grow slow and are very dense. They do not decompose so the standing dead ones are really old too!

The hike up.

Bristlecone trees.

Sam reading about the two types of trees in the grove. There are also Limber pine trees.

Great climbing trees!

We called this "thumb rock".
