Self-paced, starting at 8:00 am – 11:00 am. Duration 1.5-2 hours.
Difficulty level 2 (1/4 to 1 mile walk on trails, some steep, rough)
Site docents will be experienced Chipeta Chapter or Ute Museum site interpreters.
The Shavano Valley Rock Art Site located west of Montrose has been at the center of western
Colorado rock art research since 1907, helping to define rock art traditions and styles and to interpret
cultural continuity and change. More than 37 rock art panels have been pecked or incised into vertical
sandstone cliffs and detached boulder faces. Two distinct pecking styles are evident at the site-deep pecking and shallow pecking. Bear paw prints are probably the most distinctive rock art motif in the region and they appear on many of the panels. The principal panel at the site includes three bears climbing trees, which some feel represent the Ute Bear Dance legend. Another panel has hand prints, animal and bird tracks, linear motifs, and a possible atlatl clustered around what appears to be a bow and arrow. This field trip will have 3 docents at appointed spots along an uneven foot trail. The hike is short but with cactus and uneven terrain.
MEET AT SHAVANO AT THE PARKING AREA.
Meet at 8:30 am in Olathe, CO. Duration: 4 hours with travel.
Difficulty level 2 (1/4 to 1 mile walk cross country, open grassland, scramble to descend into wash).
Trip leader will be Chipeta member Bill Harris.
The Harris Site complex is located west of Olathe, Colo. along the toe of the Uncompahgre Plateau. It is made up of 2 rock shelters, rock art and a historic Ute component. The complex was the focus of archaeological investigations by the Chipeta Chapter between 1984 and 1989. Middle Archaic to Historic Ute dates are represented at the site. The hike to the site is about 1 mile round-trip with a 200’ elevation profile. Sturdy hiking shoes or boots recommended. Bring sunscreen, lunch or snacks, and water. We will return to Olathe about 1 pm.
MEETS IN OLATHE, north of Montrose.
Meets in Delta, Colorado. Duration 3-3.5 hours including walk and drive, from Montrose.
Difficulty level 2 (1/2 mile hike on a trail with a number of steps and steep sections.)
Trip Leader will be BLM-UFO archaeologist Collin Price.
Eagle Rock Shelter is located in the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area between Delta and
Hotchkiss, Colorado, overlooking the Gunnison River. Excavated in the early 2000s by Western
Wyoming Community College and the BLM, the shelter contains numerous rock art images including
Archaic and Ute styles. Each layer of the deeply stratified deposit that has been unearthed yielded
clues to occupations dating back nearly 13,000 years, making the site one of the oldest “pre-Clovis”
sites in Colorado, yet with a distinctive suite of animal remains, and many points hearths.
Meets at 9:30 at Blue Mesa Reservoir. Duration: 4 hours with travel.
Ends with lunch in Gunnison on your own.
Difficulty Level 2 (1 mile hike off trail through boulders, brush and grassland, uneven ground and some scrambling to reach rock shelters). No dirt roads.
Trip Leader will be Chipeta chapter member Joe Oglesby.
The Almont site is renowned as one of the only rock art groups in the upper Gunnison drainage. It
contains mainly artistically incised images along with historic charcoal pictographs including one
apparently Navajo panel and a possible locomotive. The site is a short walk off the highway between
Gunnison and Crested Butte. Joe will also show you one fragment of the mysterious Sapinero carved
stone panel that was described in the June 1952 Southwestern Lore, and if time permits he may also
show you the equally mysterious, probably historic period Carved Castle boulder found on Blue
Mesa. Both of those stones are easily accessible with no hiking.
