The spectacular Born Again Pictograph site lies deep in the backcountry of Joshua Tree National Park. It is located in the granite maze wilderness of Queen Mountain and is a bit of a hike to reach. This rock shelter was once a habitation site and is covered with faded pictographs. I've used false color imagery to enhance the faint symbols.
The rock outcrop features a tunnel likely used for rites of passage rituals, where the site gets its name. Passing through the tunnel is symbolic of being "born again." This is a fantastic place.
My friends, the Dzrtgrls, came across the site before me, and it was a place I wanted to see ever since. I've been out there a few times over the years.
No directions to this site. Please treat this site with respect and follow Rock Art Etiquette.
