Pictograph at Hueco Tanks

This is one of the pictographs which can be found at the Hueco Tanks. They were left by people as clues. "Huecos" refers to the natural rock basins which pool rainwater.

Image Description: The pictographs depicted here have a red clay-like color to them, and are well preserved throughout the park because they are in hard-to-reach places. The pictographs are made up of abstract shapes and images that are representative of life of that time period. They are painted against the light colored rocks throughout the basins
