Skull mesa petroglyphs?
Posted: Feb 17 2026 9:16 am
I went solo back in Dec 2023, and was able to locate the petros in the middle of the mesa on the way out to the fort/ruins. I'm going back very soon now. I believe there's others up there, can anyone give any hints which part of the mesa to look? I only found 1 spot in the middle of the mesa, so maybe there are others in the middle too?
I also visited chalk canyon to the southwest in May 2024 on a separate trip, this time I'm planning to link them and scramble down from the fort to connect with trail #4 and take that down to the chalk canyon ruins. I know of 1 spot of a couple large panels down below the chalk canyon ruins, and was told there are some in the southwest corner. Are there others in the area than that which anyone would feel comfortable giving hints?
I remember I took the Metate trail in, and I did see a metate but I don't recall seeing any petros on that trail though I think there are some?
