Anazasi Ridge


There is a special place to see when you are in the St George area, called Anasazi Ridge. It is a short thirty minute hike to a location high above the Santa Clara River. The ancient Indians of approximately 2000 years ago left many petrographs in the area. they are unusual in that they are on the tops of the stones on a high cliff over looking the river, rather than on the vertical faces of rock walls.


It was a great hike. It must of been easier for the ancient people as they had seven toes.


I thought this one was cool as I think that it depicts two people in combat.


This hunter is surrounded by the game he hunts. It looks like a Big Horn Sheep, Deer, Lizard or squirrel and his faithful dog chasing the deer.


The wild flowers are still wonderful these are Desert Daises.

The Prickly Pear flowers are some of the best with coral petals with yellow centers.

This would be a great place to visit on your next trip to St George.
