Tucked high along the crest of Comb Ridge, this is a fantastic and extremely enigmatic piece of Ancestral Puebloan rock art. Numerous figures and panels fill a section of wall near the summit of the Comb, but the signature piece is a stunning display of what was likely a great convocation of people. Long lines of people, some carrying things and some not, are being shepered by the figures with canes- a powerful symbol of leadership. It's likely no coincidence the natural ampitheatre it's located next to is also one of the few accessible routes from Cedar Mesa to the West up the sheer face of Comb Ridge. It's an extremely interesting piece of rock art, one that generates more questions than answers. Certainly one of the most powerful rock art panels I have ever seen. Of course pictures don't do any of it justice, so you'll just have to go and see it for yourself. Accessing the panel isn't that easy; it's listed as a "Class II" site by the BLM, which means you can visit but there are no trailheads or marked trails. You have to rely on cairns and navigation skills to get there.
