Barker Tank - Man made tank for cattle
Westside or dam wall of Baker Dam picture center. Note water level even after a rain is low, Dec 2018. Trail continues though boulders screen left and behind view. People were hiking very close to the wall but rangers were around.
Barker Dam, on the west side of the tank, as seen from the west looking to the east. Notice the multiple iterations of construction.
Boulders rise out of the water behind the Barker Dam.
Person screen left following trail drops to valley floor, what a view! Boulders, brush and cactus a plenty oh my! This is trail counter-clockwise and start of W side leg after dam wall. About 315pm so facing W rocks are in shadow.
Boulders and rocks line the Barker Dam.
Visitors can see "bathtub" rings, marking the historic levels of water in the reservoir.
