What most come to see is Rock Art Canyon, a beautiful wooded canyon with a stream running through it. On the walls are impressive Anasazi petroglyphs. The owner has built stairs down into the canyon and, on the rim, an observation station where you can rest or have a picnic meal.
Don't forget to make arrangements ahead of time!
Liz's Recommendation:
Rock Art Ranch is a hidden treasure. It is a must-see for those who are interested in ancient petroglyphs. I have never seen so many in one place. And, the canyon itself is beautiful. Check out the work of beavers while you are there.
