I really like this one. Not very fancy, but I thought it was pretty cool.

One of my faves. At the Quail Panel, Grand Gulch.
This one scares me. In a good way.Quote:

Horseshoe Canyon and McConkie Ranch, mentioned above, definitely are up there. Also, the Procession Panel on Comb Ridge is quite amazing.
Ratognia- How on earth did you photograph it from that angle? Did you climb up there? That's nuts! Great shot though!
Another vote for The Harvest Scene.

The Great Gallery and Newspaper Rock too... but those are probably too popular.

Shay Canyon might be my new favorite. We first visited a couple month's ago and I can't believe the awesome rock art that extends for approximately 1/4 mile along the cliffs. The only problem is a picture doesn't do the place justice.

Falling Man: Whitney Pockets, NV.
He is all by himself and very unique! :cool2:
I agree. Falling Man imports vunerability to the unknown man, the viewer, and the rock art itself.

Petroglyphs:
The one at Rainbow Park is the most impressive panel I have seen.

The Holy Ghost Panel in Horseshoe Canyon is probably the most impressive, but the Dinosaur Petroglygh located somewhere between Forbidding and Cathedral is a close 2nd

Not necessarily my favorite, but certainly high on the list. Snow Canyon Petroglyphs discovered up high as I was doing a first ascent on a climb in the early 90's.

I'm surpised no one has mentioned All American Man yet. It has got to be one of the coolest pictographs out there.

Paintings in America:
Utah's Rock Art Photographed by Goodloe Suttler
On View January 14 through March 20, 2011
http://www.ackland.org/art/exhibitio...ptch_BHW_5.jpg
Painted, pecked, and incised images from many different cultures and periods may be found in thousands of cave and cliff sites across Utah's Colorado Plateau. This exhibition showcases photographs by Goodloe Suttler of the astonishing "Barrier Canyon Style" rock paintings, probably the oldest of the rock art traditions found in the region (with origins perhaps dating to around 5,000 BCE).
The powerful iconic quality of these enigmatic images of spirit figures, animals, and humans prompts reflection on the sources of the urge to paint, as well as consideration of the status of this oldest "indigenous" art.
In presenting The Oldest Paintings in America, the Ackland is also considering the role of photography and digital enhancements in not only documenting, but also interpreting ancient rock art. A number of works pair unenhanced photographic images with versions that have been altered using technology developed by NASA in 2004 for the Mars Rover's photos. The enhanced versions are not attempts to imagine original colors; they are intended to help researchers better see faded or superimposed motifs. But these techniques prompt the viewer to ask what is the effect of the photographer's choices? Does technical sophistication -- and even enhancement -- aid in full understanding?
Click here for a complete list of exhibition-related programs.
This exhibition was curated by Peter Nisbet, Chief Curator, Ackland Art Museum, and is made possible by the William Hayes Ackland Trust and friends of the Ackland Art Museum. We thank Goodloe Suttler for his collegial cooperation in making this exhibition possible.

Stylized Serpents, about 10 feet long, at the Newspaper Rock Petroglyph Site off the Red Dot Trail in White Rock Canyon. Los Alamos County, New Mexico. I really like the court-jester style hat and unusual head on the serpent on the right.
