We spent Thanksgiving week in the San Rafael Swell this year. It was our first visit to the area, and it seems like we just scratched the surface. It was a week of canyon hiking and exploring for rock art sites. We also visited a few interesting arches in the area.
There are quite a few canyons through the San Rafael Reef. We hiked the Little Wild Horse/Bell Canyon and the Ding/Dang loops. All four were fun little canyons.

Another in Little Wild Horse -
I think this one was from Bell (not sure though) -
One highlight of the trip was seeing the Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon. Just an amazing place with over 65 figures, most large Barrier Canyon style images.

We also spent some time exploring behind the reef. Managed to find our way to Swasey's cabin and a few other smaller rock art sites as well.
