A very amazing place but frustrating that they have about half of the petroglyphs blocked off and you cannot see them. For the amount that we have to pay to get in here I would hope that we would have access to the entirety of the site

I find it odd that there's no picture signs everywhere of the Petroglyphs out of respect for the Native Americans. But it's perfectly fine to set up a fence and charge 12 a person to see them. It was neat to see but not worth the price.
