| I believe this group of images is in the Court of Ceremonies area, near the Visitor Center. They are part of a larger panel. Here we can see several different images of Desert bighorn sheep, as well as (maybe) a snake and some other objects. |

| Beginning of Life Panel has this unique "comet" image cutting across it. The font end (to the right) seems to have a wheel with spokes, trailing the other images that are difficult to make out in this shot. The entire "comet" is several feet long. |

| Because of the modern graffiti and other vandalism, the Cave of a Hundred Hands is protected behind wrought iron bars. But it is still worth a visit. There are a variety of "paints" used on this panel of pictographs. We didn't bother to count the number of individual hands, so we'll take the work of the State Park Service that there are actually one hundred hands. |
