Description

Hike 3.5 miles round trip to an old interpretive area featuring a foot trail constructed in the 1930s.  The trail, which is challenging, provides access to a large number of petroglyphs.  Be prepared to hike approximately 3 hours through off-trail conditions including climbing rocky conditions, average elevation gain about 200 feet, and rated easy except for the steep, rugged foot trail to the petroglyphs, which is challenging and optional.

Hikers will need to be prepared with adequate food, water, clothing, footwear, hat, sunscreen, and hiking poles.  Face masks may be required for entering buildings.
