This is one of the more interesting and intricate panels on Comb Ridge. I had heard from many over the years of it being difficult to locate, and many groups that had come up empty handed. The panel is actually pretty straight forward to find with a good directions.

The panel consists of an incredible 179 figures in a line along the cliff. It marks a cross roads in one of the few places where passage over Comb Ridge is possible. Clearly this was a well used cross roads and likely gathering place for the different peoples in the area. I can't recommend this hike enough for those interested in petroglpyhs.

Note: This hike has little shade, so it best done in cooler times of the year. From the panel to the top of Comb ridge is less than 5 minutes, and makes a great lunch spot.
