Atlatl Rock is a 10 minute walk from our campground.
This picture shows only a few of the petroglyphs there.
The atlatl, a launching stick for spears and precursor of the bow and arrow,
is pictured upper center above - the guy with his arms raised above his head.
It appears the guy is wearing a skirt, was probably a crossdresser.
Could be a woman but I don't think they did any hunting,
women's lib not being a popular concept at the time.
The other images, period graffiti actually, are similar to others in
various southwest locations: a hot dog on a stick, big horn sheep, a film strip,
the Target store symbol, several snakes, 3-toed boogeymen and a dildo.
Above and below pix were taken on the 1.2 mile White Domes hike.
Slot canyons are spectacular but not a good place to be in a downpour.
Below, a wide range of colors in a relatively small area - amazing!
Fire Wave above and below, a 1.5 mile hike, round trip.
