Yellow Man Pictograph & Petroglyph Site

At the Yellow Man site there are petroglyphs as well as pictographs! I really love rock art. It’s fascinating and beautiful!

To get to this site you will drive on the Smithsonian Butte Scenic Byway, then turn off on a little road. A high clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended. Even then, you may need to hike the last few miles like I did.

 

 

Abandoned building along the way. I haven’t been able to find any historical information on this yet.

 

Still has an old hinge on the door frame!

 

The petroglyphs and pictographs are up in an alcove. You will need to scramble to get up there. I believe the rock art is Anasazi. I’ve been trying to research, and haven’t been able to find much of anything yet. If I find any new info, I will update this post.

 

 

I couldn’t decide which sunset picture I liked best, so here’s a few haha.
