Sad but True: Some petroglyphs may be marred by graffiti or worse yet, some idiots trying to chisel them off. Keep our California history alive & do not remove any arrowheads, baskets, pottery or other artifacts from the lands you visit. Leave them for others to enjoy. Simply report them & their location to the Museum at Independence.

Volcanic Table Lands

If you plan to backpack & camp overnight in the Wilderness Area, contact a BLM ranger for the permits or to find out any possible restrictions.
