| Great Gallery Panel. Of all the rock art sites in North America, the Great Gallery is, without a doubt, one of the most powerful. These ghost-like, life-sized anthropomorphic figures extend out of the frame on both sides of this panorama image and decorate a one-hundred foot section of the cliff face. This wonderful panel has been describes as perhaps the most significant rock art site in North America and defines the Barrier Canyon style of ancient rock art found in other areas across the Colorado Plateau. The dating of rock art is still quite difficult and estimates for this site vary between 2,000 and 7,000 years old. While this site is protected within the national park system and is host to a ranger every day, it is still vulnerable to damage from ignorant visitors. All photos in these galleries may be ordered as fine art framed prints or for stock photography usage. |
