Parked at Mormon trailhead. Second attempt finding Goodman Canyon, I think I had the right one this time. Found a handful of petroglyphs but expected to find a lot more. However, I did wind up following game trails high up the east canyon wall. Will need a few trips back to fully explore this canyon. Hugging the high wall did pay off with one nice panel that I know I've seen in Landscape of the Spirits.
At one point high up this isolated canyon I heard what sounded like something heavy skidding down some dirt, I thought no way there would be another person way out here... I stayed silent for a minute and then spotted a javelina coming up the wash way down below me.
Not as much garbage in this canyon as the one I checked out last week - I hauled out TWO yard signs(??) halfway up the other canyon. Ironically one was an ad for junk removal. It still had the metal stakes attached. Worst part is I was going uphill and had to lug them the rest of the way
Anyways I linked back up with Mormon loop at the top and took Mormon trail back to the lot.
