Indian Creek, Utah~Letterboxing

Just past the Newspaper Rock, we took a little hiking trail diversion to find a letterbox placed by 'Kennamtn' called "Indian Creek" box. We thought it might be a drive-by, but it proved to be a little bit longer of a hike and more rugged. We did come to realize that the extra work was 510% worth it, though! One word: "Wow!

At first I got the clues mixed up and headed down the Indian Creek, and then when we back-tracked and found the trail towards the red rock, we took the wrong side-trail and came upon a petroglyph panel, though impressive, was small and not the one we were supposed to find.

After reading over the clues several times and looking at the terrain features, we climbed around the red rock to the other side and literally stumbled upon one of the most impressive displays of petroglyph art panels I've ever seen.
There was, what appeared to be, long etched trails across the rock with groups of people and animals traveling along it, while ghostlike figures (maybe Kachinas or Spirits?) floated above them.
My heart was filled with joy and I felt a sort of kindred connection seeing this panel and knowing that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of these amazing rock art panels scattered all over these canyons.
Jackson and I were just so happy to be brought here to find this sacred place.

Jackson had to rock climb about 10 feet up to find the letterbox, but we both agreed that the entire experience was so worth it!
