There are several different styles of rock art here. The pictographs seem to have been painted first, because it seems that some of the petroglyphs are on top of them, and have removed some of the color. But some of the petroglyphs are hard to see at first, until you see what you need to look for. They have been covered by later material washing over them, and seem faded. You have to look at just the right angle to get a good look at them. There are mostly Desert bighorn sheep, but some of the pictographs are quite interesting and different. There is a red human figure (see the image at the top of this page) with outstretched arms and legs and four prominent fingers and toes on each hand and foot. Quite different. And there is one tan image that looks like a large tick.
There are also some strange horseshoe type petroglyphs on one of the fallen rocks, and many Desert bighorn sheep on another, as well as what looks like the Roman numeral II. They are also becoming more difficult to see because of the return of the desert varnish.
