Eagle Cave, a large occupational site, is found in the same canyon.

More about the White Shaman Preserve and Rock Art Tours.

Tour Difficulty: (Strenuous) The hike is into a very steep and rough canyon. Stamina, agility and good balance are a must and climbing (knees to chest) over large boulders is required. This tour involves a 100-ft. descent into a canyon with no trail. Deep, loose rocks make walking difficult. You will be in a remote location where response to serious injuries and medical emergencies will be difficult and lengthy.
