EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Utah's Canyonlands National Park lies Hog Springs, a hidden gem nestled within the expansive Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This tranquil alcove, a natural shelter carved by time and erosion, holds a fascinating piece of American history: the Cleopatra Panel, a Barrier style pictograph. The Cleopatra Panel, adorned with intricate designs, is a testament to the ancient Anasazi culture that once thrived in this arid desert landscape. The panel, characterized by its horizontal and vertical lines, boasts a captivating array of colors, including beige, blue, brown, orange, and red, that contrast beautifully against the sandstone backdrop. The pictograph, believed to be over 800 years old, is a unique example of the Barrier style, which is distinguished by its use of negative space to create images. The figures, depicted in various poses, are believed to represent anthropomorphic beings or perhaps even celestial bodies. The Cleopatra Panel is located within a secluded canyon, accessible only by a rugged path. The journey to reach it is an adventure in itself, as visitors navigate the canyon's twists and turns, passing by towering sandstone spires and pinnacles. The trail, though challenging, rewards those who make the effort with breathtaking vistas and a glimpse into the past. As you stand before the Cleopatra Panel, you can't help but be humbled by the rich history and culture that this quiet alcove has witnessed. The panel serves as a reminder of the resilience and creativity of the ancient Pueblo people, who managed to thrive in such a dry, inhospitable environment. The Cleopatra Panel is a must-see for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or the natural beauty of the American Southwest. It's a reminder that even in the most unlikely of places, there are stories waiting to be discovered.
