Filling in a few spots on south mountain around the Pima Canyon area (the canyon, not the parking lot). Forgot to start my watch so I missed the first mile. Explored some promising spots, found 1 outcropping with quite a few glyphs but most were very badly faded. I assume there used to be a lot more glyphs on the same rock that just aren't visible anymore. On my way back I happened across the 3 shape glyph, square, triangle, cross. I didn't find mention of it specifically in Landscape Of The Spirits but I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before... It looks to me like the circle may align with 4 peaks in the distance and with the summer solstice sunrise, we're a few weeks out now so a little hard to tell.
