Hunting the Molen and Moore Pictographs

Written by Lynn Sessions on June 19th, 2010

Saturday plans fell through at the last minute so in an effort to rescue at least part of the day, I drove down to Moore Utah by myself, to spend the day hunting Indian pictographs and petroglyphs.

I wanted to visit (or re-visit) five different sites in approximately the same area. I managed to visit four. However, I found out later that I missed some pictographs in one of the areas so I need to go back now I know where they are located.

Site one:

Pictograph 1

Pictograph 2

Pictograph 3

Pictograph 4

Pictograph 5

Pictograph 6

Pictograph 7

Pictograph 8

Petroglyph 9

Petroglyph 10

Petroglyph 11

I even spent some time taking pictures of the cactus and wild flowers, while trying to beat back the swarms of no-see-um biting gnats. They were bad in this area.

The day was getting short and I headed for home satisfied for another day in the outdoors.
