We found some cool petroglyphs on the rocks nearby the fort.
Becket especially loved the prosauropod tracks.
It was a neat trip I would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Warner Valley trip
We took a nice short trip out to Warner Valley, which is just east of St. George. It is a beautiful desert valley where some exquisite dinosaur tracks were discovered in 1982. It is also site of the ruins of Fort Pearce, built in 1866 to protect a nearby spring from use by Indians with whom the settlers were battling.

Well! Look at you taking full advantage of the beauty Utah has to offer. Beautiful pics. Glad you're enjoying your trip!
You will have to tell me how to get there. I have never been there and would love to see it.
I love the photos! Especially of this area that I love so much. We've never been to see the tracks, though. We'll have to put that on the list for next time we are down there. Hmmm - red sandstone, cactus, desert, blue sky...love it! Are you coming up north?
Man, those pictures make me yearn for the warm weather of southern utah! And what great shots! Nice camera, nice photographer! Oh, and our favorite was the story about Gretchen telling Becket how naked she was...
