Early American history has fascinated me with how life conditions of the past binary from the times of modern day.

The lifestyle, resources, and means of communication were entirely different.

In some aspects, it’s almost unfathomable to imagine how modern day humans could have even lived in these environments that early Americans dealt with.

Canyoneering allows us relatively safe access to inaccessible envivromentd and  places seldom seen by most people.

This absolute wealth of experience to access exotic and exclusive places can also allow canyoneers to visit location that haven’t been visited in thousands of years.

This particular canyon is no exception.

I have left some of the details out of where to locate this canyon but access to this canyon for canyoneers is indeed an option.

We got a early start up the mountain and made it to the drop in point in relatively good time.

The air was cold and the rocks were even cooler in the canyon as the sun stated to heat up the corridors.

We encountered numerous raps, all of
Which were not that long in length.

This canyon reminded me of cherry canyon in the virgin range.

We continued down the canyon and encountered a interesting drop through a keyhole into a nice narrow slot.

This is where the ancient Instagram newsfeed of the past begins.

Fascinating, etched in, figurines, of people, shapes, big horn sheep, and large animal / monster figurines appear. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1J6O8bFNb78o2agwwV-ZYv7H1lMb5FhQ0
It was quite amazing to see these panels on the wall! 

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Tdo6KoG_ktm9Qo8nviStlCJTPoGx_TyN
What stories were they telling? What were they going through when they write these panels? 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=15ynnMrYo05GvnXYlnUtAFXGKa3IkJ-0B
What are they actually saying? 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JbI3uCK8lIq-xQ9wj-EHbQW8HGpPpRiv
Who are they for?
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Dg1OphL5I0IMfJbhOct9Omtl1svu-suq
Why would they even write anything on the canyon walls ? 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1DF9IEPtqrZ61LQp1b3nQXwpGSD3DZrqS
So many questions !
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1iF26DyAa_g4BqgsXBzjk-GQrrAgP_tyK
Back to reality, they are here and they are quite interesting.

Once we got down this drop we continued on down the canyon.

I wondered to myself if people were stopped at this point and if some indeed tried to climb up the slippery slipped wall.

Continuing to ponder the times of the past was fascinating as we descended down. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=14vsB8SWZAM8oFhF2fa2NxpRPaiuo7fnK
We headed down and noticed some
More figurines on the wall. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1JpBdjpd3j-kAwxv32ckamtic1OOZn4og
These were of shapes and big horn sheep 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=18Yyerlz7a4WaPAF4qi_oPXxNcsWV-vFM
Continuing down we encountered down limbs and started to notice more panels on the walls! 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1B3R55tPR3sZ5ucTK-wJln66vmAkJZRac
The designs of snakes and other animals appeared. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=199e_O6FKfTudKw-EoJ4HhPynqjZr_9x_
We were amazed to see Just how many figurines and panels were encountered on the way down. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=16WOLlcZwwew6PGzUD06HdrsabK4R_0Df
We continued to descend down and down climb more. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=12_A8Cmy17l_8YBmNzjvtsAJCrUF8pthL
Rope was not needed as we can see, it is climb able from the ancient climbers. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1PTcIlq3I042xl1ZIoDtHd3fbeAGzZ4oV
We must have passed by over 8-10 panels with all types of interesting rock art figurines. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1-zgzhQQKSpfjyeN_wxFlKLWfin6NFj4A
Usually we would see just a few panels in the desert but this was not letting up. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Ka_N8V0F-DjJ2bhi2AzWWbu0qEQp6oMQ
The rock art kept coming! 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1_MpnRqthzgWSbbG41wK_hlesNgdl-cg_
Such a beautiful place of American history and a very good reason why we should protect places. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1xLaw6p2z22J6vSFQXRiUKCAJefL-02Xa
It’s amazing to see where canyoneering takes us and how it helps access resources not available to most people. 
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1ocMDttoIohy-AJVeRoXNrnsT5Q_ocCN5
I am looking forward to visiting kore of these canyons in the near future.
