As I mentioned, you can't actually go down into the canyon without a navajo guide.  Luckily for us, we were staying with a very nice navajo who gave us a jeep tour for a very reasonable price.  Most of my pictures from the canyon floor were with my 35mm b&w (which I get to buy and mix up my chemicals develop today because it's the first day of my last semester), but I did take my digital and my 650mm lens in order to get some awesome shots of all the pictographs and petroglyphs.  I'm the only one of my group to have shots like these.  And I took a lot of them, but I'm only going to show two of the more interesting ones (in my opinion).

The White Priest

Battle (the shields are actually drawn on with gun powder)

And just as a bonus because I love the walls of the canyon so much:  Canyon Wall in b&w

Tomorrow, Utah and Arches!

    Nice job on the petroglyphs. And canyon wall is great, you get the feeling that it is a little part of something grand.

    Great shots.  I like the B&W but there is something to be said about the color in shots like this
