The surfaced trail winds its way over the rust-colored soils of the Moenkopi Formation through the Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site. The trail provides access to petroglyph viewing areas containing hundreds of rock art designs.
Records / History:
The site has over 500 individual rockart designs or elements on the cliffs and boulders at the base of a 500 foot mesa. The different designs are associated with the cultures of the Great Basin, Western Anasazi and Lower Colorado River, a suggestion of the many cultures that have been this way. Some of the representations of turtles, lizards, and bear paws may be symbols with social or religious meanings now lost in time
