A short spur trail (right) leads one to a pre-historic human shelter. Here, artifacts dating to 660 AD, including a hearth feature, were discovered. These prehistoric people likely took advantage of the shelter to escape summer heat or winter winds. They probably harvested the fall pine nut crop, hunted mule deer and rabbit, and found the geologic area a secure and scenic place to live.
