Photographer's Note
Native Americans used this area for thousands of years. The Archaic peoples, and later ancestral Puebloan, Fremont, and Ute peoples, searched the arid desert for food animals, wild plant foods, and stone for tools and weapons. They also left evidence of their passing on a few pictograph and petroglyph panels. The first non-native explorers came looking for wealth in mineral forms. Ranchers found abundant grasses for cattle and sheep. Disabled Civil War veteran John Wesley Wolfe and his son Fred settled here in the late 1800s. A weathered log cabin, root cellar, and corral give evidence of the primitive ranch they operated for over 20 years. A visit to Wolfe Ranch is a walk into the past.

Looks as the big rock in the foreground was detached from the "walls" on sides some long time ago, Zbigniew.
The desert colors and contrasting tones marvelously rendered.
Wish you a nice weekend,
Ike

I also visited Moab National Park in Utah. It was fantastic. The red rocks contrast well with the blue sky. Reminded me of Uluru & Katatjuta in central Australia. Tfs!
