These mountains can be seem from a distance and look quite interesting. Once you get close to them by driving through a bunch of gate codes and sidewinding dirt roads they look even more interesting. This one looks like a bunch of overlapping hands to me.

We brought a cow dog mix with us to run around looking for snakes and javelina.

He had a blast trying to keep us hikers rounded up. To him we are his cattle.

I noticed a little spec on one of the larger rock faces. It turns out there was a climbing event going on that day.

Here you can get a sense of scale. These mountains aren't too tall but the stones are quite large, perfect for rock climbing.

Do you see the kissing rocks towards the lower left of the middle?

Someone took their brontosaurus out for a walk and didn't pick up afterwards...

This one is obviously an elephant with its ears out with a bunch of humans in from towing him in their procession over the Alps.

This is a strange fat buddha yelling up at the sky.

I suspect these pock marks in the side of the rock were made by Apache's. Nearby there were also some grinding holes for corn and mesquite beans. I have a few petroglyphs for another post as well.

My favorite rock formation from when I was a kid hiking this area. This is obviously a great white shark about to bite a swimmer from below.

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
