The kids had Monday off from school and so I took them all on the next hike. We went on Owens Loop in St. George and we hiked to "The Lamb of God" with "God's Hands". The history on it is: When the pioneers settled St. George the children went hiking around and found Indian burial sites and took bones and skulls home. The bones were just laid in crevasses in the rock like the one the kids are in above. And then they were covered by more rocks to keep animals out.
I did expect it to be bigger but it really is interesting.
They took the bones out and buried them somewhere else and dedicated the site and the pioneers put a petro glyph of a lamb and hands to show respect.
It was a good hike and it was interesting to hear the story behind what happened and why the pioneers made a petro glyph.
