Guide
From Pine Creek Trailhead
Start down the hill and follow this trail for about a mile past the Wilson home foundation until you get to a large area that has a triangle made out of rocks.
Follow the trail to the right.
The trail will split again. Take the left route down into Pine Creek. There may or may not be water. Fern Canyon goes to the right of the split.
As you get into the wash, follow it to the right and then when it turns left follow that for about 100 yards. Look for cairns on the right side where there is a trail that heads up the hill.
Follow the trail for about a quarter mile where you will go back down into the wash.
White Rock Canyon — This is the beginning of White Rock Canyon. Continue down to the Colorado river or turn right shortly past this point to go to the Liberty Bell Arch, Observation Point, and the mine.
This is where you will meet the Colorado river when going down White Rock Canyon. Turn left just past this outcropping to continue to the sptrings.
Rusted Cans — Turn right on the single track trail to take the short route or continue on the dirt road to the petroglyphs.
Saddle to Short Route — Follow this trail to the saddle and then down the canyon into Ringbolt Canyon.
Dryfalls — This is the wall you have to climb to avoid the hard dry watterfalls. Notice the cheater stones. You can follow that crack up to a ledge and then cross over the ledge and back down to the trail.
The Easy Dry Fall &emdash; This may look tough but as soon as you get close you will see it's an easy climb to the right.
Petroglyphs — This is where the petroglyphs are. This is looking downstream. You can see one of the rocks in the lower right corner of this image.
Petroglyphs &emdash; These are the first petroglyphs you will see heading up ringbold canyon. They are easy to miss if you take the wash up instead of a trail that tracks to the right.
