Hickison Petroglyphs Campground PHOTO HERE We don't know the actual name of this arch. The rock is covered with petroglyphs. Hickison Summit HICKISON SUMMIT About one mile northeast lies a natural pass between two low buttes, which prehistorically, the Aborigines may have used as a site of ambushing migratory deer herds. Three petroglyph panels are located in the pass concerted cooperative efforts of several families were necessary for successful trapping, killing, and processing the deer. Petroglyphs suggest magical or ritual connection with hunting activities. They were added seasonally by the group's religious leader, or Shaman, as omens to insure a successful hunt.
