Rasmussen Cave.
Rasmussen Cave is adjacent to the Daddy Canyon Complex. Both are about a mile west of the Cottonwood Canyon Road. As you are driving east, just after passing Dry Canyon Road there is a dirt road on the left. If you get to the vault toilets, you've gone just a little too far. The dirt road extends for about a tenth of a mile then rejoins the main road. Rasmussen Cave is near the middle of this road about 30-40 yards to the north.

Slifer says that the deeply pecked or worn areas probably signify a ritual use of the rock surface. Slifer p. 9.

It looks like the front portion of the red animal fell off relatively recently.
