Overview

The Falling Man Rock Art Site is a fascinating petroglyph gallery that has seen many visitors over the years, and Lower Wall is one particular site in that area.

This site is made up of two walls set at a 90-degree angle, like an open book. The left "page" is broad and smooth, while the right "page" is smaller and quite rough. The broad left page is wide enough to consider the left and right sides.

This site is a little tricky to get to. See the route description, in photo, below.
