| Each site is unique where you will never see a scene more than once - anywhere. It was created by two different methods. Pictographs are painted pictures with mineral and plant dye and are commonly found on smooth, red sandstone. Petroglyphs are scratched, incised, scraped, or abraded into the rock and are found on brown or black rock surfaces. Interestingly, oil from the human hand can contribute to chemical changes in the rock. | |

Morning Glory Arch Place » Outdoors Morning Glory Arch is the world's sixth largest, depending on how you measure. While massive in size, it plays a clever game of hide-and-seek below the Medieval Chamber and is suspended in silence above the gurgling echoes of the grotto at the upper end of Grandstaff Canyon. Seeing it suspends belief, and rappelling from it makes it all the more memorable. 85 views 💖 1 👍 0Moab, UT 84532 |
