Little Black Mountain

On Friday, we headed down to St. George to see the petroglyphs at Little Black Mountain. It's only about a 15 minute drive south of town, but the glyphs are really nice and the BLM has done a good job of making it accessible.

Click on photos to zoom.


















My favorite find of the day was a kokopelli. To my knowledge, they're pretty rare in the western part of the state, although they're ubiquitous in local gift-shops. Kokopelli portends childbirth and spring - two things Zola and I are excited for in the near future.

It's in rough shape because it was pecked into the sandstone (which wears rapidly), but I applied some filters to the second photo to get better contrast.
