SITES AROUND US

I wasn't feeling my best this morning, so after taking some yucky medicine I decided to stay home while my humans went out for a day of sightseeing around Cedar City.

First stop was a drive to the Parowan Gap to see the many Petroglyphs. The gap appears like a giant cut in the mountains, and it had great significance to the ancient people who once traveled in the area. Here were some of the most amazing panels of petroglyphs that Kathe and Jim had ever seen. There were at least six giant murals along the side of the road. Interpretive kiosks explained the meaning of most of the art. 

Then just about 2 miles down the highway, they explored an area with dinosaur tracks that had been preserved in the lava rock. Unfortunately, the tracks were not well taken care of, and it took a little imagination to see the footprints. Next stop was a quick lunch at Brian Head Ski Resort where the temperature was below 70 degrees. 

Then it was on to Cedar Breaks National Park. It looks like a mini-Bryce Canyon.
