This is a continuation of our trip exploring Southern Utah. After the Maze we headed into the Bears Ears National Monument on our way to Natural Bridges NM. From there we drove to Arch Canyon to see the ruins and the arches before finding a place to camp. The next day we stopped at several Anasazi or Pueblo ruins on Comb Ridge and then went to the Sand Island where we spent the night at and looked at the petroglyphs. The last day before heading for home we traveled through Montezuma to look at more ruins and petroglyphs.

Artifacts. You can touch but do not take.
