Over Memorial Day weekend, me, my wife and her parents visited multiple sites near Blanding, Utah. During this trip, I revisited Cave 7 to get some quality photography time. Also, we visited the Doll House Ruin, Fallen Roof Ruin, Honeycomb Granary and a large crane petroglyph. The Big Crane petroglyph was one that I had been wanting to see for a long time. Rick Schafer shared this one with me.
The Doll House ruin is very remote and difficult to find. But, this keeps it in amazing shape.

Our hike down to the Fallen Roof Ruin was before the heavy winds hit.
Fallen Roof Ruin is fantastic.
Flat rocks from around the ruin almost create a walkway.

The hike to see the Big Crane petroglyph was done in very strong winds.
The Big Crane petroglyph is one of me and my wife's favorites.
The Honeycomb Granary, a Kokopelli pictograph and another ruin with a petroglyph above it.
The Honeycomb Granary located in the Montezuma Creek area.

We saw this ruin with a petroglyph directly above it on the way out of Montezuma Creek.
This is Cave 7 and the surrounding area.
Cave 7 was very integral in the discovery of the Basketmakers.

You always seem to find the most amazing things to photograph and then you really bring out the life in them. Most photos leave you wishing you were there, but yours seems to take you there. Keep rollin’.

I am an avid hiker. I would like to visit the Big Crane petroglyph. Could someone tell me how to get there. I have visited several rock art sites in the Butler Wash. I will respect the rock art. Thanks, LaMar
