Black Friday in Nine Mile Canyon
Black Friday | Friday, November 25, 2011
The Original Trip Report on ADVENTR.CO
I wanted to get back to Nine Mile Canyon one more time before the year was over, so I figured that Black Friday would be the perfect time. Instead of getting up early to try and score a deal at a big box store, I was up early and on my way to Wellington and then into Nine Mile Canyon. As I drove into the canyon I found that part of the road was under construction. Luckily no one was working today, so I did not encounter and delays this time.
I was unable to visit the Owl Panel the last time I was in the canyon, so that was my first destination this time. It's an amazing panel that's in great shape.

Besides the very large and unique owl, there are also two smaller ones.

This is another new panel I stumbled across this trip with a cool looking hunter with a bow and arrow.

Great shots Randy. These are the tripiest yet. I am not sure the dot matrix are stars, even if coyote put them there. I'd like to think they were mathematical. That friggin owl is going to haunt me for awhile.

Is there a publication that gives directions to the different panels in Nine Mile? How about in Utah in general?

I finally made it to Nine Mile! We found most of the panels I was looking for. We saw the Owl Panel, Hunt Scene, Big Buffalo, Pregnant Buffalo, Family Panel, and LOTS of miscellaneous glyphs. We were directed to a seldom visited panel up a side canyon with three large multicolored anthropomorphous. One that i wanted to see but didn't was coyote spreading the stars. Where is that one? We didn't make it up Dry Canyon either. Where the road crosses the stream the big construction trucks had put such deep ruts into the stream bank I was sure I would get high centered before getting to the stream.
