Jack's Canyon

 

Jack's Canyon is a small gorge that meanders its way through an otherwise flat expanse of high desert south of Winslow, Ariz. I have never read anything about about Jack's Canyon. I have never known anyone else who has hiked there. Trails don't exist in the area. It is these qualities that make the canyon a great place to explore. Among other things, I found some petroglyphs tucked inside an enclave at the bottom of the canyon. I haven't researched this particular site so I can't say anything about the human and bighorn sheep except that they're pretty cool. The enclave also happens to be occupied by some current cliff dwellers -- the ones who made the bird's nests out of mud.
