Here's another ruin that appears to have had the back wall painted red and black.

Here's the set of hand petroglyphs with very long fingers from where the canyon gets it's name.

A couple of bird feet or tracks.
Metate Rock by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr
There were plenty of boulders around in the alcoves containing many metate grooves, but this one had more grooves than a lot of the others.

A few small pictographs in another alcove.

Long Fingers Ruins by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr
An overview of the canyon and the Long Fingers Ruins…..some above and some below.
Green Target by IntrepidXJ, on Flickr
Up by the higher set of ruins are a few green pictographs. I took this photo from below before we exited the canyon.
After we exited the canyon we climbed up comb Ridge to try and access the higher set of ruins, but the route to reach them was a bit too much for us, so we headed back down to the Jeep and called it a day. Jared and I parted ways and a few hours later I was back home and unloading the Jeep.
We hiked a lot of miles….my legs were tired….I spent some time with good friends….we explored many new places….it was a great trip!
The End.
