To reach Ibex, head west out of Delta on US-6, heading toward Nevada. It is about 50 miles on US-6 to mile post 39.25 where a major dirt road leaves on the south side of US-6.

The Horse Pasture
From Jack's old place, there is a dam and canyon to the east and a touch north. This drainage is named The Horse Pasture, and what we thought was the most interesting place at Ibex.If you hike up the bottom of the drainage, past the first dam, keep an eye out on the right for a couple of old pictograph panels. Both have weather significantly, and could be mistaken for natural colors in the rock until you view them up close.

Just a few minutes above the dam, the canyon narrows at a second small dam. Climb around the dam on the left side, but be sure to notice the petroglyph on the right side, flat on a ledge, facing up just below the dam. Just above the dam is another pictograph on the right, a circular pattern.

The narrow canyon has a small up climb section that didn't give our 6-year-old any trouble, but did give the dog pause. If continuing up with dogs, you may need to give them a boost here. The canyon quickly opens and becomes easier walking. We wandered up a bit, enjoying the colorful rock walls until it began to open broadly with less interesting scenery.

We also hiked up the canyon just south of Jack's place as well. It is brushy, and not as scenic as Horse Pasture.

Southern Tanks
Finally, if you start at the last junction before Ibex, mentioned in the driving directions, you can hike a bit south and east to another small dam (tank) that Jack built. Like all the others, it has mostly filled with sediment over the years. From there, head south over a small hill and into the next drainage. Head up this drainage to a final dam just above a short, narrow section of canyon.

Note: I've described the things we found most interesting, but the area is a great place to poke around and see what you find. Our daughter, in particular, enjoyed scrambling around on the many boulders and rocks in the area.
