Crystal Peak and Dixie Mountain

About this event

Crystal Peak is a pleasant trail to an interesting mountain topped by a quartz peak.  It is East of Frenchman Lake.  Dixie Mountain is on the West side of Frenchman Lake topped by a fire lookout. It should be a pretty easy day on forest roads, but the roads near the top of Crystal Peak degrade pretty seriously in the last mile.  You could always hike that section if you have to!

Their research suggested that “hunting magic” could be one interpretation of the rock art at the site. With Lagomarsino’s favorable hunting location, and the rock art motifs, including mountain sheep and possible portrayals of piñon cones, they suggested that the depiction of such natural objects may have been intended to invoke their presence or increase their numbers.
