| no partners | | I was looking through some old photosets and saw a set from a hike I did in January 2015 [ photoset ] with a couple of nice scenery shots and a couple of seldom seen petroglyphs. Something about that hike captured my interest so off I went to do a repeat and to see if I could find more petroglyphs this time. Although titled Spur Cross Meander, the off-trail meandering part is actually outside the park boundary in the Tonto Nat. Forest. This hike starts out from the Spur Cross parking lot and takes the Tortuga Trail north west continuing on past the turnoff to the Elephant Mountain trail to the Limestone Trail #252 where I turned left and proceeded to the intersection with the Peterson Spring Trail. At that location I started off trail to climb to the top of a ridge which angles northwest towards the base of Black Mesa. I found the 2 petroglyphs from my January 2015 hike along this ridge top but was unsuccessful at finding any more. There was an occasional small pottery sherd scattered here and there along the ridge top but no evidence of any rock walled habitations.
As I concluded in my triplog from the Jan 8, 2015, hike: "It was a pleasant day with some nice views and enough AEG for a good workout." |
