The San Rafael Swell, looking at the section of Interstate 70 that goes directly through it. I took this shot shortly after leaving the scenic rest area.

Found a trail along the way, but it probably wasn't necessary to follow it.

The first side canyon with cool colors before reaching the petroglyph canyon.


Along the edge of the Swell, headed toward the petroglyph canyon.

The entrance to petroglyph canyon. The petroglyphs are on the right side wall.

The faded petroglyphs, with some sort of graffiti or maybe attempted theft?

Continuing toward the Spirit Arch canyon.

Heading up toward Spirit Arch.


Spirit Arch becomes visible on the top left.


Spirit Arch!

One more photo of the San Rafael Swell on the way out.
