    Tips

    This area is mostly cattle paths. When not overgrown, it is moderately challenging to navigate. There is one area with dozens of petroglyphs. These images show that many are only visible if you really explore.
    I was traversing some boulders (often easier than the scrub) and chose to go around after I threw my walking stick ahead. I would not have seen the tarantula and likely big horn had I not come over the top.

    Other petroglyphs in the area from other hikes are in the gallery.

    It is sobering to know most of the large rocks are unchanged since indigenous people were the only human inhabitants.
