Parowan Gap

So we decided to take Owen on somewhat of an educational field-trip this evening to the petroglyphs at the Parowan Gap. It was the first time that any of us had visited the Gap despite it being only a 15 minute ride from home! The Gap contains lots of ancient rock-art (petroglyphs) done by the Fremont peoples/Indians approximately 1,000 years ago. The atmosphere and scenery at the Gap is amazing.. it's peaceful, awe-inspiring and magical. It just has a calm feel about it and a magic that you just can't describe. The weather was just perfect too - a nice breeze blew constantly and we stayed until the sun started to set, casting a beautiful light on the already gorgeous shades of red rock. Earlier, Owen and I had hiked up to a little cave carved into the side of one of the huge rocks and he thought this was so much fun.
