For days 1 thru 15 see Jan thru March of 2014 in the column to the left. I have twice heard there are dinosaur footprints on Amasa Back, just off the trail, and I have yet to see them. Today I will find them. Large clumps of moss on only north side, a petroglyph I had not seen before, remnants of single room dwelling with arrowhead flakes prominently about and then finally I find what I'm searching for, though deep in the rock they appear to be dinosaur footprints, three toes, but very narrow.
When I return and look at the dinosaur prints somebody else found online, they don't match. There are more somewhere.
This area of the Colorado Plateau has been underwater thousands of times by various oceans. The first picture the waves were rolling north to south, in the second also north to south but a hundred feet below the first location and much stronger, and the waves in the third picture were coming from west to east.
View looking southwest towards the saddle from on top of the Amasa Back and the Base Camp blue side by side waits below at the bottom of Jackson Ladder.

Visions of dinosaurs eating hotdogs with Kitty! Kobae chasing dinosaurs around the compound!
You were really high. The rock formations on the left of the bottom photo look like various levels of water action? Especially that one flat rock sticking out.
Carol, it could happen. Couple more years Kobae will be big enough to go head to head with them.
Cyn, million years ago the river went through there and around Jackson Butte. Still find pretty good size pieces of petrified wood down there also.
