A second site in the Black Mountain area is Black Canyon, a concentration of petroglyphs along both sides of steeply-sided basalt cliffs, cut by a wash and dirt road.
Motifs extend almost to the top of the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.
On the north side of the canyon you may notice a small bighorn petroglyph a few feet above eye-level. This motif illustrates the fact that these petroglyphs are not intended to show real animals but instead to portray spirit beings. This example probably shows a combination of a human and sheep, reflecting the belief that a shaman transformed into his spirit helper when he entered the supernatural. Turn left at BLM Route C283, down a long canyon wash. This is a U.S. Government computer system.
