Hidden on a small, inconspicuous ledge deep in the Joshua Tree wilderness lies an intriguing pictograph site. When we discovered it after a lengthy bushwhack, the park archaeologist informed us that he believed it was a previously unrecorded site. Huzzah!
The site features almost entirely abstract pictographs positioned along the ceilings of three granite alcoves. Many of these pictographs are located on the ceilings of the rock shelters and are difficult to photograph. I have converted many of my photos into DStretch images to enhance the visibility of the faded designs.
Check out my friend Peregriff’s excellent post on this site: Circle Sun Pictographs, who was with us on this trip and co-discovered the site.
No directions to this site. Please enjoy my photos below.
