⚠ Notice: For a YouTube Video.

Rattlesnake Warning. I think this is more of a standard warning rather than an indication of a problem.
Painted Rock Petroglyph Site and Campground is set on mostly level ground around the two mounds of rock that ancient people chose to etch many figures and simple pictures on.The desert is scattered with barrel and seguaro cactus. There is grass and low brush as well as a few short trees between the cactus and rocks. Sunset was beautiful. Take a look at the last picture on the recreation page.

Recreation
The BLM website mentions historic trails but I didn't see anything obvious. Other than the rocks I am not aware of any recreational activities nearby. Checkout the Petroglyphs. Most are very old but a few were added by travelers in the early 1900s.
Wildlife
Well there is a warning about rattle snakes but I saw none in my wanderings about the area.
