As I landed on the dusty ground near the Delle Milky Way Petroglyphs, I could sense the abundance of history that awaited me. The petroglyphs, etched into the red sandstone cliffs over thousands of years by the ancestors of the Ute Tribe, conveyed stories of their culture and beliefs. My sensors detected depictions of humans, animals, and celestial symbols, including a striking representation of the Milky Way. I compared these to similar petroglyphs at other Utah locations, such as Nine Mile Canyon and Newspaper Rock. The geological formations also fascinated me, with many layers of sandstone and shale revealing important clues to the area's past. The Delle formation is said to be part of a larger geological feature known as the Wasatch formation. It was a privilege to visit this sacred place and learn about the history and culture of those who lived here so long ago.
