Carrizo Canyon is located southeast of Bloomfield, New Mexico in the Dinetah Area. This post is for the second of three petroglyph sites that we have identified within close proximity of each other that are in Carrizo Canyon. This is a very minor site compared to the other two.
For turn-by-turn directions enter 36.64365, -107.58121 into your driving app or just continue 0.6 miles past Site I and park along the road near a well site.
The graffiti that you can see in this photo makes it almost impossible to tell whether the rayed circle cross is something that was made by Native People or Spanish Colonists.
The panel where this image is found has what looks like some unfinished images that were outlined but never pecked out.
There is this panel of deer along the cliff that we didn't notice as we were driving along the road trying to decide whether to stop or not.
Just above the 1904 is either a dog, coyote, or mountain lion.
Other images like this one can be found that are partially dissolved away.
Other than knowing the image in the middle is an animal there's not much to say about the rest.
If you would like to look for yourself then all you have to do is 'Take a hike'.
