It is hard to find as it is not maintained and is is unmarked but you get some great views across town and might be able to see a petroglyph or two. It kind of follows the cliffs on the north side of town and is accessible from Alta Ct. As far as the petroglyphs go I saw two possibles just a short distance from where I parked. You will have a little bit of hiking but it's fairly gentle but the "trail" is narrow and is most likely caused by deer (which I startled one while I was up there, maybe 30 feet away from it).

We asked around, and drove around, but couldn't find any signs that indicated the start or finish of the trail. I'm sure the petroglyphs are there somewhere, but no one seems to know how to get there.

The cliffs are highly vandalized and you have to basically walk through somebody's back yard to access the area.

You have to look at all the modern artwork to find the 1 or 2 petroglyphs that are located here. I can say that if you take the path the climbs up the cliff there the view is really nice. if you follow the prior directions to the site you will find them.
