Way up the trails above the sleepy little town that once was the State Capital of Utah, is a wonderful dusty red trail up past Chalk Creek ~ head on up higher still among the lizards and desert roses and junipers.
Following the trail signs you come finally to a place known to the locals as the mystery glyphs.
These glyphs bear a striking resemblance to the ones in Manti though much higher up the mountainside and right above the entrance of a cave. Almost like writing home sweet home over the entrance!
Who was it that left their marks on these rock walls? Some say Moroni left his calling card, some Hmongs claimed it as theirs. Whoever it was they made their way thruout the western United States leaving a calling card for those who wish to follow their trail.
At the end of the trail we may never know who left these writings
but we enjoy the adventure anyhow.
The last two glyphs were up near the cave but have been taken down to the Forest Ranger office in town for protection and can be seen there.
Photographs are from 3 different trips: 1994, 1996, 2005 and 2013.
Safety in the Fall 
These are really cool – there are a couple places up in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area where there are glyphs (though my knowledge of them only extends to “they exist” and little else).
