Curly Tail Panther Touir on the Devils River - April 3, 2010
Friday, March 5, 2010

Come join a Rock Art Foundation guide for an adventure tour to Curly Tail Panther.  Located high on a cliff above the Devils River this tour takes you to a site that truly emphasizes “place” in the rock art of the ancient people who created the paintings. 

This tour is not for the faint of heart or anyone who has difficult traversing rugged terrain and narrow ledges.  The hike is short, but difficult.  This is not rock climbing, but does require stamina and balance to walk a narrow rock ledge leading to the site.  At “the ledge” almost everyone stops and a few just won’t go on.  At this point you are within sight of the rock art. 

Please keep in mind that you will be in a remote location where response to serious injuries and medical emergencies will be difficult and lengthy.  Please be physically prepared for this hike.

On the morning of the tour meet your guide just west of Del Rio, Texas, at the store/gas station/café at the intersection of Hwy 90 and Hwy 277/377.  No special vehicle is needed for this tour.  Any car can drive to the parking area above the rock art site.  Once we leave the meeting site there are no conveniences.  Bring food and water.  No pets.
