Mike & Allison and Traci & I drove up Nine Mile Canyon on Saturday, looking for all the petroglyphs there. Unfortunately, we left in a hurry so we could get back to Price in time for dinner at Ty's, and we didn't do any research beforehand--we just hoped to see the petroglyphs from the road. Well, we drove up the canyon for an hour and a half, and didn't see a damned thing. We eventually came to the turnoff to Gate Canyon, drove up for just half a mile or so, and stopped to eat. We stopped at a cool little recess cave (formed by a long-gone waterfall) for 30 minutes or so, ate and drank, and hiked around a little. While sitting there, a Utah Highway Patrol truck passed by, which was quite strange being at least 30 miles from the nearest civilization on a dirt road. Good thing I had my radar detector with me. =) We also saw a truck pulling a flatbed trailer with a stock-car on it, which was also really odd.

I'm pretty bummed that we went so far and didn't see what we were looking for, so I think I'm going to go back next weekend, this time with directions to the petroglyphs and other areas of interest. I didn't take many pictures this weekend, though I did take a few of interest, but I'll just wait until after next weekend's adventure to post them, along with shitloads of others that I'll likely take then.
