Anasazi Valley Trail (Tempi'po'op)
Posted by Guest Post on
Trail Tuesday took me out to the Anasazi Valley Trail, or Tempi’po’op, which leads to some spectacular ruins and some of the most well preserved petroglyphs in St. George and the Southern Utah region. The trail leads to an Anasazi Farmstead that is fenced in by wooden fencing. The ruins are fascinating. Tempi’po’op means “rock writing” in Paiute. There are dozens and dozens of petroglyphs and they are right out in the open for visitors to enjoy. They are beautiful to look at. I spent about a half an hour just finding petroglyphs and probably only saw a fraction of those on the plateau. I hope that visitors will continue to treat this area with respect so that these petroglyphs last for many generations to come.

Trail Tuesday took me on a unique adventure this week to Kayenta, in Ivins, Utah. I had heard about a peace garden in the area and I set out to find it. I found what I was looking for, but it actually is the Desert Rose Labyrinth, located just off the main highway, in the Kayenta Area. Kayenta is about 12 miles from St. George. I drove from St. George out through Santa Clara on Old Highway 91, but you can also take Pioneer Parkway to this beautiful community. .
