Ninemile Canyon

Thought I'd post a couple more cool photos of our memorial day drive up to ninemile canyon. For those of you around Utah who haven't been there, I would highly recommend it. There is so much Native American and western history that you could not see it all in a week. There are petroglyphs, stage stops, ghost towns, Fremont Indian village sites, and many other attractions as well as Mule deer, Elk, and sheep in the canyon. Pretty cool trip for the cost of a tank of gas and a picnic lunch.-------SS

Very cool!

It's been too many years since I've been down that way. +1 on your reccomendation though.

A couple of years ago I was hiking around some foot hills less than a mile from my house and came accross this No where near the detail as the nine mile stuff but I found it cool to know that I live less than a mile from some native american petroglyphs.

That second photo you posted must be a native americans version of an eastmans cover story. The glyphs around it were all the back and forth banter posts about whether or not the buck/elk was farm raised. :)

I sure hope that third pic isn't showing us that some moron took some pot shoots with a .22.

I grew up in that area and I would agree it is a must visit area. I think it is one of the states best kept secrets!

That is a great trip! My fam spent the weekend in the San Rafael Swell, also one of the better kept secrets, I hope it stays that way as it has been discussed as a potential wilderness area. There are also petroglyphs there, the mini grand canyon (The Wedge), dinosaur tracks and what use to be a cool cave that the county just recently blew up. http://www.sanrafaelswell.org/gallery/gallery.php

Nine mile and the swell are definatley one of the states best kept secrets. There is so much history out there that most never have a clue about. My family used to run horses and cattle out on the swell since my great great grandfathers time until the 70's or so. So I guess I have been lucky enough to learn the land out there more thoroughly than most. Great post though shooter. It is some amazing country.
