Details

Hicklin Springs is a fairly large collection of petroglyphs, archaic to modern, located in an isolated area near John Martin Reservoir. I found the site on a very rainy day, didn't want to fight mud to explore, and I've been wanting to go back since.

The site has large amounts of poison ivy, which has helped protect it from vandalism. The road is best in a high clearance/ four wheel drive.

Plan is to spend the day looking at rock art. I've been told the "Emergence Panel" is worth looking for.

My rock climbing skills are weak so we'll stick to not exposed scrambling. Talk to me at an event if interested and we can plan some hikes together to make sure we're all on the same page.

I prefer to explore without pets or children.
