Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site
Our first stop will be at the Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site. Here, you will witness first hand expressions of tradition and lore carved into stone. Religious tradition, hunting maps and stories of life are carved into these boulders that span some 8,000 years and several cultures. This is a short walk into this well preserved archeological preserve that gives you a taste of the past. Here you can try to figure out the meaning of some of these simple and sometimes detailed markings. This is a good place to photograph ancient art.
45 minutesGlitter Mountain
Gypsum is mined in parts of Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. At Glitter Mountain, an open gypsum mine is available to the public. Pieces of gypsum scattered across the mounds of dirt "glitters" in the sunlight, hence "Glitter Mountain". Here you can find your own special piece of glitter and keep it as a souvenir.
