| partners | | Since my first "out and back" hike in March'09 to complete this entire seldom hiked, overgrown, route finding  8.6 mile round trip Grapevine Trail #135, I had then stated that I believed ancient Salado Cliff Dwellings resided within some of the more dominant butte alcove cliffs off this trail.
Others have since confirmed this and now finally five years later to the month, Oregon Hiker and I were able to plan a personal visit to see for ourselves (known as Site C:1:67).
Two sites visited this day (a larger 6-8 room site and a smaller site located along a cliff wall 150ft further down). Both of these sites are very unique in that both have various design, vivid colored PICTOGRAPHS (vivid reds, whites, yellows and orange colors). We had never witnessed pictographs at any other Sierra Ancha Salado Cliff Dwelling Sites visited to date.
It was a very interesting and rewarding day and one I will always treasure  |
