( Writing this from Carrizozo, New Mexico on Nov. 10. )
October 9.....The day before we leave this area we do one more hike.  Along the base of the mountain are very well preserved Petroglyphs from the Fremont Culture, created about 300 to 1300 CE. The modern-day tribes most closely related to the Reef Petroglyphs are the Hopi Tribe and the Pueblo of Zuni.
After following the path with the drawings, we came to the trailhead for the Hickman Natural Bridge.  This was even more interesting and challenging than the Tanks Hike.

You can see how the stone sheers off and can imagine how many drawings have been lost over all the years.

My battery was low , so most of the pictures are taken on the way down. Didn't want to run out before I got a picture of the bridge.

In case any one is interested, we talked to a couple from Ohio who were on a Southwest Tour.   They flew into Salt Lake City and were picked up in vans driven by  tour guides.  They stayed at hotels and toured the five Great Circle Of National Parks in Utah.  They were very , very happy with the tour and their guide who was personally knowledgable about the parks and tried to do different types of hikes each day.
