Hidden Valley
Artifacts of human existence within the current Joshua Tree National Park borders dot the desert landscape. Native American petroglyphs lie hidden among the boulders, far right, along the Barker Dam Trail. Ranchers and miners arrived in the late Nineteenth Century. This original natural pond gave ranchers a source of water constant enough to support cattle raising. The dam, right, still looks the same as in the old photo.
