Back at the trailhead. It was a short hike, but it had nice views and the jets were great.
Driving back down to Darwin Canyon.
After the hike, Tom showed us a place that had some pictographs.
On the way, we passed by a old camp.
Pictograph
This one looked like a tree.
Big lizard.
The sheep are my favorites.
Ploished rocks from grinding grain.
This one looks like a sun.
More sheep and a person.
Another sheep.
And another.
Tom found a rock that looks like it might be a tool, maybe it was used the make some of the pictographs.
