Description

It isn't very intuitive from the get go. Keep your eyes peeled for many cairns along the way up. When in doubt during the middle of the trail, follow the estuary up and you'll eventually peel away west of it up a steep climb. Watch your steps during the final ascent and don't look down. Bravery required.

Flora & Fauna

All kinds of succulent plants are scattered along the estuary leading to the top. We saw many lizards, with specks of swallows and finches scattering the area. No sign of snakes during the colder months but be wary as it heats up. There were many spots to bask for snakes.

This view gives you an idea of the creek valley, one of the basins, and the general terrain along the Hieroglyphics Trail.
