14 | ORIGINS<br />
As a result <strong>of</strong> many, many hikes around <strong>the</strong> Flagstaff area, I’ve come across this wonderful stone alcove<br />
with rock art. Throughout <strong>the</strong> year, in all kinds <strong>of</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r, I find that this is <strong>the</strong> perfect place to rest, have<br />
lunch, and contemplate my discoveries. The real value <strong>of</strong> this place wasn’t obvious at first, however. It<br />
just served as a nice place to visit in <strong>the</strong> midst <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se ancient treasures. One day it all changed.<br />
If you look at <strong>the</strong> basalt alcove you’ll notice that <strong>the</strong> large center stone panel is covered with some very<br />
old petroglyphs (archaeological artifacts). An interview with <strong>the</strong> chief archaeologist at Coconino National<br />
Forest provided me with an interpretation: <strong>the</strong>se figures are probably from <strong>the</strong> Cohonino culture which<br />
is much older than <strong>the</strong> predominately Sinagua place.<br />
