Wow, look what me and some friends found last weekend. ( 1-07-23 ) A bit of a scare from a rattlesnake landed me on the rocks.
Lucky for me just got bruised!

You've found Shaman Rock (your photo 9 "crop"). A view from the westerly side shows a Lion head profile (right side) gazing in an easterly direction, and a Shaman head profile (left side), who's looking northerly. It may be worth your while checking out what's out there to the east and north. Also here is a 'lilo' carving and a 'ram' petroglyph.

I don't know. That rattlesnake is trying to kill me. Maybe he is guarding the treasure.
I have some very tall snake boots, so I will be wearing them next time.
If you want to see snakes, go the the mini-canyon called "Shangri La", just above the old Butterfield Trail road northeast a couple miles from Shaman Rock. Just uphill from the walls shown below. Make sure you wear those boots and watch out above your head when you're near those canyon walls.

Snakes why all I have to do is walk out where I live and you will see a red racer cruising by...
