Easy Petroglyph Hike

Drive out the driveway and right on Acacia Ave. (our street.)  Go across Pipes Canyon Rd. and continue on Acacia Ave. to the end of the road.  

Turn right on Boulder View Dr.  and proceed for about a mile.  Across from a small brown cabin on the right (the second from last house) near the end of the road, you will see a trail head on the left, and a place to turn out and park.

Walk up that trail and on the first boulders you come to on your right -- about a 10 minute walk -- you will find incredible petroglyphs on the boulders.  Also look for the bedrock mortar -- a bowl carved into the rock.  Continue on through the canyon for one of the most beautiful hikes you have ever seen!   Become a detective and look for footprints that head off the trail to discover more ancient petroglyphs, carvings and bedrock mortars/metates!   


These all rival any found in Joshua Tree National Park and almost no one knows about them except the locals.  You are not likely to see anyone else on this hike.  Remember to bring some water and a hat in warm weather.
