This site is north of a small creek and has pictographs on three different concave cliff faces. The majority of elements are on a south-facing cliff, while the rest are on two side walls of a small alcove.
This pictograph site consists of an elaborate, if faded, main panel, and a secondary panel containing some pictographs and petroglyphs.
I have my doubts about the authenticity of parts of this site, both because of its location in a region famous for filming Westerns, and because the subject matter of the more elaborate panel reads like a Western retelling or interpretation of what pictographs may have been like — an interpretive depiction of a mysterious tale, told in symbolism.
That said, this is only my opinion, and some features of the site I will discuss in this entry argue against this interpretation.
This little gem was an accidental discovery: I had caught wind of the presence of a pictograph cave in the vicinity and was availing myself of an opportunity to look for it. Since the Volcanic Tablelands are known for petroglyphs, not pictographs, I was interested to see what the pictographs in this area looked like!
( In fact, I know of only three pictograph sites in this area, and they are all within a few miles of each other, suggesting a cultural intrusion into this area. )
