| Veteado Mt. | ||
Veteado Mt. near Quemado rises up from a patchwork of private ranchland and therefore is not in my book. Too bad, because the summit is decorated with some nice petroglyphs. These include the finely crafted male and female humans shown below. Interestingly, a near-identical pair of petroglyphs exists on another mountain 12 miles east of Veteado. The two pairs face each other, suggesting they may be related. |

I wouldn't call the hike "difficult," but it does take a fair amount of time to trek from the highway to the summit. If there's a footpath leading up there, I didn't see it. |
