Pictograh of Deer

On our walk yesterday morning at Hueco Tanks State Park we saw both pictographs (cave paintings) and petroglyphs (cave etchings or engravings).
Some of the drawings are  in low lying caves and some of the drawings require climbing - Joe saw those!
Here's a picture of the Huecos ( a large pile of very, very large stones that eroded leaving pockets to collect and hold rain water.
This is a very restricted park mainly because it attracts rock climbers!!!

Hueco Tanks State Park

Just east of El Paso is a great little state park, Hueco Tanks. It's quite restricted and we couldn't believe our good luck in getting in. It's noted for it's pictographs. The campsite is very impressive.
