Queen Valley Area Pictographs - Joshua Tree National Park

Sadly, the pictographs at this site are virtually invisible to the naked eye. It is also sad that very few of the multitude of visitors to the park have ever seen, or even heard of it.

The pictographs themselves are rather unremarkable, but the site is still amazing because of the rock formations in the area.

Front side. 


This large boulder is about 30' tall. Very impressive in person. It looks smaller in this photo because of the Joshua tree that was between me and the rock.



One of a few rock shelters in the area.

A natural water "tank" used by the local Indians that was later enlarged by local ranchers.



I had to crank up the contrast to even see a hint of the pictographs.


DStretch to the rescue. 





I have more posts from other "disappearing" sites that I'm going to try and work in here.
