This program was so popular, we decided to schedule it again for the spring! Join us as we hike across the desert floor, into and out of the wash bottoms, to the Clark Lake Petroglyph site. This site lies at the base of the Santa Rosa Mountains just east of the mouth of Rockhouse Canyon. The petroglyphs, interpreted as an early Cahuilla type, are pecked into the reddish-brown patina of the boulders at the base of the mountains. Other significant features are located nearby.
The hike is a moderate 2.5 - 3 miles round trip. Wear comfortable hiking shoes and bring water, sun protection and a snack.
4WD is desired although a high clearance vehicle can make the drive into the starting point.
Chuck Bennett is a park volunteer participating in the archaeological work being conducted by the Colorado Desert Archaeological Society. Chuck is a former Sierra Club Outing Leader (25 years) and has led trips in the western US, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and New Zealand.
