After showing some family Nefertiti and Price Junction petroglyphs we decided to drive up tusher canyon for some great petroglyphs (and one pictograph panel). I was amazed by the amount of art the area we didn't make it to a quarter of it, i'll need to go back there sometime. :nod: The canyon is nearly untouched with 0 graffiti and some great canyons. I went there blindly no coordinates, no information and we still found tons! Oh that reminds me note to self go up coal canyon next. :haha: I also have seen some pics online of some cool pictographs in Bookcliffs maybe someday i'll make it to those too. So much to see so little time :jump_nutt:

Question? How much does a pass for Range Creek cost?

There are also a couple Range Creek TR's on Bogley if you do a search.

The problem I hear is that the canyon is huge and you have to find everything on your own. I've been into the bottom of Range Creek once from the river but one of my partners knew where a few of the goodies were.
