Glen Canyon - Descending Sheep Panel Petroglyph Site
Glen Canyon - Descending Sheep Panel Petroglyph Site submitted by jeffrep : The petroglyhs that give Descending Sheep Panel petroglyph site its name. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Rock Art in Coconino County, Arizona. This site is located off the Colorado River about 7-1/2 miles from the bottom of the Glen Canyon Dam and 7-1/2 miles from Lees Ferry. Access is by boat.

According to archeologists of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the panel contains two elements of rock art representing three separate temporal and cultural periods dating in age from 1,000 years to as much as 8,000 years in age. In 2010 a fisherman defaced this panel with his name and was later sentenced to a $10,000 fine - slightly more than the cost to attempt to mitigate the damage.

Note: Glen Canyon Dam water release intended to improve ecology, mitigate errosion down stream. No impact to Canyon petroglyphs.

Good find, Jeff. Access by boat only. Descending sheep. Not a lot changes from the wet hills of England to the dry valleys of Arizona!

Glen Canyon Dam experimental release by bat400 on Sunday, 25 November 2012
(User Info | Send a Message)
"Flood release" of water from the dam will have little effect on archaeological sites within Glen Canyon itself, but may help prevent errosion of sites down stream of the dam.

From the Department of the Interior news release:

The U.S. Department of the Interior will trigger the first "high-flow experimental release" at Glen Canyon Dam since 2008 on Monday, November 19. The release is part of a new long-term protocol announced in May by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to meet water and power needs, as well as to allow better conservation of sediment downstream, more targeted efforts to control non-native fish predation, and continued scientific experimentation, data collection, and monitoring to better address the important resources in the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam.
In cooperation with five Interior agencies, the upcoming release is designed to take full advantage of sediment deposited by Colorado River tributaries as a result of recent rainstorms and monsoons. Scientists have determined that the right conditions exist to conduct a high-flow release to benefit downstream resources, including camping beaches, sandbars, backwater habitats, riparian vegetation, and archeological sites.
