We took off from Moab and headed north to Wellington Utah. There you enter into the canyon called nine mile. However, it is actually 45 miles long. We spent the day searching for petroglyphs. To our amazement, they were everywhere. This area was inhabited by the Fremont Indians who were a prehistoric people. They were there until around the 1200's. Then the Shoshone and Ute moved into this area. As you drive the road, which was built in the 1880's by the black infantry of the Calvary, you look on the canyon walls for the petroglyphs. This was an incredible way to spend the day. I recommend this drive to everyone who can make it. It is out of the way but so worth it. We were lucky to have our 200X500 lens and were able to take some fabulous photos of the glyphs that were so high up! We ended up with over 200 photos!
