The not-so-famous twin spires, Sid and Charley, stand tall and are tucked 4 miles back in the desert. It's a quick and easy dead-end drive back to this photogenic pair of spires named after the local Swasey brothers; you know, Swasey's Cabin. The trail is rough dirt with rut washouts that bottom out suspension. You can drive up to the spires for pictures, continue a stone's throw away to camping near the cliffs and the petroglyphs, and then onto the end, where there is hiking to more petroglyphs hidden in the canyon. The level dirt area allows several vehicles with tents to hide from the wind below the cliffs, but the site does have moderate OHV and hiking traffic.
