Access Issue: Pima County conservation area - archeological artifacts - restricted activities
Details
This area is an outlying mountain section of the Los Morteros Conservation Area and fixed anchors & defacing the rock is prohibited. The conservation area protects prehistoric Hohokam archeological artifacts such as hillside 'trincheras' rock structures, bedrock mortars and petroglyphs. Destruction of cultural resources in the lower Los Morteros Hohokam Village site has been a particular problem in the past and as a result the valley section is actively monitored for theft and vandalism. Leave no trace to avoid access issues.
Description
Start on the right side of the flat boulder, and traverse left while staying low. Don't use the big flat boulder for feet and end on the left of it. For bonus points, complete the left climb to the top after the traverse.
Location
On the south side of Twin Peaks, about 10-20 yards west of the Gate.
