This was an interesting site, with its variety of pictographs portrayed in vivid colors. The Kokopelli image, seen in the main image at the top of this page, is perhaps six feet tall. It can be easily seen from across the road in the parking area for this site. It's easy to see why the Escalante/Dominguez Party spotted it as they journeyed up this canyon. They were the first to document this location, and may have left their marks in the form of a red Christian cross and a Christian fish symbol. On the other hand, those images may have been added to the site in more modern times.

You may notice the wire cable across the image of the Kokopelli. It seems two rock bolts have been placed on either side of the Kokopelli panel to preserve it in place. The large slab looks ready to separate from the main rock face. It would be a shame to loose such an interesting example of rock art.

We have seen many examples of Kokopelli (the flute player) throughout the Four Corners region, but I've never seen a pictograph version, especially one this large. This is also a seated Kokopelli, since his legs are bent. His left hand looks to be resting on his leg, while he holds his flute with his mouth, and his right hand is waving wildly over his head. Many (most) Kokopellis have a large penis (he is a fertility god), but this one does not. But what he does have is a tail, which, again, is something that we have not seen before on a Kokopelli. This example is quite an unusual character.

On either side of the large Kokopelli image are smaller pictographs representing a range of anthropomorphs and zoomorphs. The one immediately above shows two shaman-type figures in somewhat of a Barrier Canyon Style. The unusual image to the left looks more like a jelly fish than anything that I can identify from this region. It is interesting in that it has six pecked circles on top of the red paint. Either these holes were added at the time of the original work, or added sometime later. In either case, they seem to add to the mystique of the panel.

This is another interesting Anthropomorph from this site. There is the triangular body found in many Barrier Canyon Style images, but also in the later Fremont petroglyphs found across this region. This could be a shaman on some sort of drug induced trip into the underworld. Note the whitish/pinkish aura around most of the body, and what looks like a waving right hand. This image, associated directly above the previous image, have a somewhat frightening demeanor, as if intended to scare visitors away from this location.
