Just follow the trail into the canyon and pay attention to your left as you go through the 1st tunnel. You will see few red pictographs on the canyon walls. Take a good lens of at least 100-200mm.

Just beyond the first tunnel on the trail down the side of the canyon can be seen some ancient petroglyphs, where there are animals, hand and footprints, and many enigmatic symbols.
Hiking down this trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, right down the giant cliff sided canyon on a narrow zig-zag path, is a highlight of any visit to this spectacular area. But beware, it is not only a mountain climb in reverse, with all the uphill to be done on the way back, but also the sun will now be high in the hot afternoon sky, making the ascent a very arduous trip.
