Gold Bar

Gold Bar is just passed the Gold Bar Campground. Park in the turnout on the north side of the road. As you look north-east, you'll see a culvert that goes under the railroad tracks. There is a very steep trail to the right of it that gets you up to the tracks, or you can go through the culvert to the Jeep Arch trailhead. When you come out the other side, the trail is to your left that leads up to the tracks. It's more gradual and easier on old knees. Once on the tracks, follow them west until you see a break in the fence with a BLM marker. The glyphs are on a couple of boulders. Unfortunately, this site has been heavily vandalized.

We've only seen the sheep with backward feet one other time in Nine Mile Canyon.

These appeared much older than the others.
