Geocache Description:

Park at the Devils Corral trail head (UTM 11 T 715966 4720281). Start on the trail to Devils Corral. After a short distance take the East fork in the trail. As the crow flies the pictograph cache is .42 miles. There is no climbing to get to this cache. I have taken 10 year old children to it.

The pictographs are on a South facing rock wall. The BLM told me they could be 1000 years old. There is no other information that I know of. To me the real cache is pondering about the people that painted these pictures. Where they came from, how long ago, what did they uses for paint, what they are trying to say. The material cache contains:
a tape measure, ear plugs, clock, utility knife, swingin scents, mirror and whistle.
