| no partners | | I took the long drive out and did the Ben Avery trail to Indian Springs Petroglyphs. This is in the Eagletail Mountains which kind of remind me of the Goldfields in Mesa. Maybe it is the yellowish/green lichen on the sides?
Anyway it is a nice area and I spent a bunch of time roaming around exploring. Honestly I could probably spend the whole day out there climbing and checking things out. After studying the Petroglyphs at Indian Springs I turned back. Rather than going straight to the trailhead however, I decided to go West on an old Jeep track. This took me across the desert floor past a big game tank. Then the former road continued on and eventually faded out and stopped at a wash. I continued to climb and explore and found a cool rock with a couple large holes in it. It is listed on the topo map as the "natural arch".
After that I headed back and on the return I couldn't help but wonder if it would be possible to climb to the summit of Courthouse Rock? If so it would be quite the climb. That will be saved for another day as there wasn't much day light left. Cool place but a long drive for me! |
