Tuckup Shaman Pictographs (Aug 2006)


This large panel of pictographs and petroglyphs is located in the Grand Canyon's remote Tuckup Canyon drainage off of the north rim. The drive out there from St George is on a long and rough dirt road. This panel is preserved due to it being in a protected alcove, and is believed to date back more than 5000 years ago. Backpackers who sleep near the panel vow that they never will do that again in their life, because they hear and feel things (ghosts?) during the long miserable night long.
