About Picture Canyon Picnic Site

Picture Canyon is home to a variety of plants, wildlife and American Indian rock art. Petroglyphs as well as pictographs can be found along the canyon walls. Some petroglyphs may have had astronomical significance (PDF, 203KB); plan to visit Picture Canyon during the Fall or Spring equinox when limited public tours are offered. Picture Canyon is open to the public year-round for self-guided touring. Scenic vista and unusual rock formations are the main attraction of the 4 mile loop hike and horseback riding trail.
