Las Tinajas de Los Indios

Las Tinajas de Los Indios, or "Indian Tanks", are tinajas located in the sandstone heights of the Point of Rocks on the north side of Antelope Valley in Kern County, California.

The tops of the Point of Rocks, sandstone rock formations, have tinajas, (jars in Spanish), natural basins that acted as reservoirs or cisterns to hold the water that collected during the winter rains and held it throughout the summer.

[2] These tinajas bear evidence of having been improved by the Indians.

Deeply worn steps have been cut into the rock leading down to the water.
