Little Cottonwood Canyon
Pictographs
Wasatch Mountains
Not
far up Little Cottonwood Canyon, just off the trail, Fremont Indians
lived in a rock-slide cave about 1,000 years ago, where they drew a
pictograph with the mineral red oquirrh. Native American rock art is
extremely rare in the Salt Lake Valley.
Considering the extreme and wet
environment of the canyon this is a beautiful and well preserved
pictograph.
The pictograph consists of a human figure with horns that appears to be
holding bow, and off to the side is a quadruped, with what appears to be
antlers. |
