In respect to archaeological significance, Snake Gulch is a
particularly intriguing side canyon on the Kanab Creek drainage. Prehistoric
American Indians used the gulch as a thoroughfare to move back and
forth between the plateau above Kanab Creek on the North Rim of the
Grand Canyon and the South Rim’s Havasu Canyon. A byproduct of
these extensive travels is a concentration of pictographs unequaled
anywhere in the Southwestern U.S. It appears the ancients used the
drawings much like billboards along our modern highways to communicate
to fellow travelers messages of various types. A five mile stretch
of canyon wall is a veritable gallery of rock art as every face smooth
enough to paint on has a colorful depiction and message.
Because of the educational opportunities this
area offers, the Museum of Northern Arizona is sponsoring this trip.
Naturalist, Stewart Aitchison and rock art interpreter, Joe Pachak
will provide expert commentary and interpretation of the many aspects
of the gulch. Buckhorn Llama Co., Inc. will handle guide and llama
support.
