In 2008, Alysia and I went on a day trip to check out the petroglyphs at Cow Cove in the Mojave National Preserve. This is Chemehuevi and Mojave country and reminds me of Grapevine Canyon in Southern Nevada.

The site was more extensive than I first expected and is well worth the trip. I’m surprised it doesn’t get visited more often. This is an excellent corner of the park and only a short walk to get to some of the petroglyphs.

I made a return trip in late 2022 to revisit the site.
