 If you are exploring the Eastern Sierra & the upper elevations are unreachable, you can always go visit some indian Petroglyphs.
Tucked way up in Fish Slough, NE of Owen River/ Tablelands area, graded dirt roads lead to  multiple indian sights. Inyo National Forest Map, plus another back country road map & GPS are highly advised.

 While motorized travel is prohibited in some canyons leading to wilderness areas, hikers can leave the dirt roads to discover more indian Petroglyphs & maybe even find some artifacts.
Hundreds, if not thousands of petroglyphs can be found in the surrounding regions of National Forest & BLM lands. Subtle remains of indian life still remain if you have the patience & know what to look for.
Sad but True: Some petroglyphs may be marred by graffiti & idiots trying to chisel them off. Play it safe & do not remove any arrowheads, baskets, pottery or other artifacts from the lands you visit. Simply report them & their location to the Museum at Independence.
