Rock newspaper might be as old as 2,000 years!

Canyonlands Nat'l Park, Utah:

You can't find a six pack. No worries.  The scenery will leave you breathless.


This "newspaper" might be as old as 2,000 years.



This rock had to be some sort of a meeting place.  It's nestled in the bottom of a deep cottonwood tree infested canyon.


Mesmerized by the intricate etchings, you stare and try to envision the meaning of each symbol.

From afar, you might walk right by..


We're impressed with the scenery that went with our trek to "Newspaper" rock:


Geologic volcano formation:  The hard magma remains, the softer pumice worn down, exposing the core.


About time to fire up the bikes, and make a run for it.
This area is very prone to flash floods, and if you wait too long, your wait may include an "overnight stay" under the stars!


We're outta here, for now!
