Capitol Reef National Park
Highlight were the petroglyphs, left by the Fremont tribe. Though the antlers and other accessories were explained to be ceremonial headdresses, they make the “people” in the petroglyphs look very alien… Who knows – maybe the Fremont tribe knew much more about the universe than we do?
Extraterrestrial Highway
No flying saucers, but some lizards look extremely alien…
Devils Postpile National Monument
Lava flows, frozen in hexagonal columns. According to Wikipedia: “The postpile was created by a lava flow sometime between less than 100,000 years ago (according to current potassium-argon dating) to 700,000 years ago (according to other dating methods). The source of the lava is thought to have been somewhere near Upper Soda Springs campground at the north end of Pumice Flat on the floor of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River, from where it flowed to the site of the Postpile, was impounded by a moraine, and reached a thickness of 400 feet (newer estimate) to 600 feet (older estimate).”
Rainbow Waterfall
Strong waterfall with the promised rainbow.
