圆顶礁国家公园弗鲁塔附近的岩画, 犹他州, 美国

圆顶礁国家公园拥有一种亘古不变的魅力。在这里,红色的岩石峭壁、蜿蜒的峡谷与古老的故事,在犹他州沙漠的天空下彼此交织。1971年,这里被正式指定为国家公园。它不仅因鲜明的地质景观而引人驻足,更因那刻印在大地上的古老叙事与文化遗产而让人驻足沉思。

早在游客们穿上徒步靴踏上圆顶礁的步道之前,弗里蒙特人和祖先普韦布洛人便已在此居住。从公元300年至1300年,他们在地穴屋和天然岩穴中生活,将农业巧妙地融入狩猎采集的日常。他们与这片土地的联系既具有精神层面的意义,也具备实际的生活用途。他们在此留下了公园最引人注目的遗迹之一:岩画,比如今日图片中在弗鲁塔地区发现的岩画。这些岩画展示了一种古老的视觉语言,刻画着戴头饰、佩珠宝的人形形象,旁边还有大角羊和蜥蜴等动物图案,以及象征仪式、迁徙和天文现象的抽象符号。这些共同构成了一座无声的档案库,记录着那些曾在这片非凡土地上生活、迁徙并赋予其意义的人们的故事。

Petroglyphs near Fruita in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah

There's something timeless about Capitol Reef National Park—a place where red rock cliffs, winding canyons, and ancient stories come together under Utah's desert sky. Designated a national park in 1971, Capitol Reef invites reflection—not just on its vivid geology, but on the ancient narratives and cultural heritage etched into its landscape.

Long before visitors laced up hiking boots and hit the trails at Capitol Reef, the Fremont and Ancestral Puebloan peoples called this place home. Between 300 and 1300 CE, they lived in pit houses and natural rock shelters, weaving farming into their hunter-gatherer lifestyle. Their connection to the land was both spiritual and practical—and they left behind some of the park's most captivating features, including petroglyphs like those found in Fruita, featured in today's image. These rock panels showcase an ancient visual language, featuring human figures adorned with headdresses and jewelry. Alongside them are animals like bighorn sheep and lizards, as well as abstract shapes alluding to ceremonies, migrations, and celestial events. Together, they form a silent archive—a timeless record of the people who lived, moved, and made meaning in this extraordinary landscape.
