mfrincu visited on 10th Oct 2014 Easy to find and spot right on the Barker Dam Trail. Contains few artwork panels in good shape. What it is nice about this place it's that it combines both pictographs and petroglyphs.
This beautiful petroglyph site can be visited while doing the 1.5 mile Barker Dam loop which starts in the Barker Dam parking lot. It is an easy hike and you are rewarded with beautiful scenery on your way to the site. The site itself is very well preserved containing both pictographs and petroglyphs. As in any petroglyph site try to be there early morning or late evening. These are the best times to take pictures!
