In the Canyon

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!


Three Rivers Petroglyphs, New Mexico

I spent the last week walking around the south eastern corner of New Mexico.  So, guess where I'll be taking you for the next few days!  

Three Rivers is an amazing place because it's open and un-like so many parks, there are no barriers between the visitor and the petroglyphs.  There's no "tour" either, so you can spend as much or as little time as you wish wandering around the boulders.
