The Cañon Pintado National Historic District is where I have photographed these petroglyphs and pictographs. I first visited this site in May 2010. The canyon has been occupied by people for 11,000 years. Most of the rock art is from the Fremont Culture, who lived in the canyon from approximately 200 BC to 1300 AD, and the Ute Indians, who lived in the area from approximately AD 1300 until the 1880s. The horse image created by the Ute Indians is the newest rock art drawing.
If you want to explore this area yourself, plan to visit for at least two days. This is a self-driving and there is short hiking trips to some of the sites. My photos only represent a portion of the sites in the canyon. The photos below were taken on May 26, 2019, and show The Guardian and more examples of The Carrot Man.
