Zombie Woof and the Shipwreck Pictographs

These two pictograph sites are just around the corner from Hidden Valley in Joshua Tree. Although there are only a few pictographs here, they are still well worth a visit. Both sites were once used for bouldering (rock climbing) but are now off-limits. The climbers definitely used their imaginations when naming the sites.

The pictographs at Zombie Woof are difficult to see, so you will have to look carefully. The Shipwreck is much easier. I used DStretch on both of them to bring out the details.

To reach these sites, just park at Hidden Valley and walk south. The sites are tucked amongst the boulders on the south sides of the granite rock outcrops on either side of the parking lot. You will find them if you poke around enough.

As always, follow Rock Art Etiquette and do not touch or disturb the pictographs or petroglyphs. Take only pictures and leave only footprints.
