Day 1 - Sand Island to Chinle Wash

The patina on the Desecration cliff wall was beautiful. Most striking was this sunburst pattern. Photos never do this stuff justice. Even the ritualistic defacing of the older glyphs had a not-unpleasant style. Desecration panel as viewed across the river from the Butler Wash panel. Next stop was opposite River House Ruin. This is the upriver while this is downriver view of this commonly used access point.
