Petroglyphs

Happy Mother’s day!!

The next morning Eli made me a waffle for my Mother’s Day breakfast. He did a fantastic job and it tasted so good. I was sooo hungry. He also loaded me up with donuts, a cinnamon roll, fruit, and juice. He is such a sweet little boy. Love him so much!

We loaded the car, check out of the hotel and drove to the McConkie Ranch Petroglyphs.

We started at the Upper Main Panel Trail.

I told my parents this would be an easy.8 mile hike. Ha!

My knees started to cry again.

Eli pulled my mom. My dad pushed my mom. Lulu went her own way.

We made it!

My little boy with Luci’s leash in his back pocket. He kept an eye on her the whole weekend.

Discussing with dad why I don’t remember this crazy vertical hike. I remember the petroglyphs being off the side of the road. He said that was in 9 mile canyon, near Helper. Oh… 🙂

I had to take a picture of this chunk of rock that fell.

If I hadn’t run 13 miles and stair stepped 4 miles the day before, this would have been an easy hike. It was steep though. We walked along the cliff to see the petroglyphs.

Another chunk….

And another. You would think this mountain was unstable 🙂



After we climbed down the mountain and back to the car, we talked to a Vernal resident. She said she ran the Dino half many times and it was a challenging race and the race description hides the difficulty. Yes! Thank you!! I now had confirmation that this race was challenging. 🙂

She also said the hike to the Three Kings is a nice hike. Not long. Just 1.3 miles round trip. I just couldn’t do it. I’m ready for the 4 hour car ride home with my slippers.

Since I have talked myself into running the Dino half again, we will do the three kings hike then. We will also have to bring binoculars to see the three kings as well.
