Springs is located in Southeastern Utah. This is a well known
site that is located in the Book Cliffs not too far from 1-70
and the Colorado border.
The
anthropomorphs that are found here are 6-7 feet tall and found
in various shades of red. Some of the images look like "aliens"
due to their large eyes, and antennae, but scientists believe the images are simply stylized art.
They are very unique.
At
least four separate groups are represented here. Fremont and
Barrier Style are the most prominent, while across the road are
some Ute images.
The
site has been heavily vandalized. The vandalism
included graffiti and bullet holes from people shooting at the images.
The BLM ended up spending a long time
cleaning up the site and doing their best to restore some of the images. Today the images are behind a protective fence. Please respect this. |
