On Monday, January 30, 2012, we attempted the alternate route to the Picacho Petroglyphs from Highway 79 in a passenger car. The description listed is no longer applicable. East Deep Well Ranch Road is now paved and has been paved for 5 or 6 years. It ends after 7 miles at a land fill. North Start Road no longer intersects with East Deep Well Ranch Road. Instead the road at the 3 1/2 mile mark dead ends at a ranch marked private property. Instead we followed a dirt gas line road just .8 mile to the right off East Deep Well Ranch Road for approximately 6 miles. Then we turned left at an unmarked dirt road. After approximately 4 miles, it intersected with North Start Road. Heading west we evetually found the rock art sites. I would not recommend this route. Leaving, we followed the directions to I-10, a piece of cake in comparison.
