Fulton’s Rock has San rock art depicting an elephant. Arrange access to the painted site with Highmoor Reserve before visiting.
Highmoor camp to Fulton's rock is an easy hike to the rock and a bit more difficult coming back to the camp up the steep hill you walked down earlier. Allow for the return climb, roughly 1.5km and 340m up, followed by the flatter last 3km back to camp.

From the Highmoor Reserve car park head North West towards a gate and turn right at the sign. After 250m going downhill cross the stream over the wooden bridge and, after another 250m beyond the stream crossing, take the path to the left (the right leads to the small Kamloops Dam wall).
In front of you is the Salma Dam, cross the stream and walk past the dam, now to your left. After a slight uphill you head slightly downwards towards the Shasta Dam which you pass on your left. After this dam is a small knoll on your right and the main path turns right, the small path to your left is towards Fulton's Rock.
After 250m along this path the descent begins, quite steeply as you get lower down. Fulton's Rock can be seen about a third of the way down (refer the picture above). At the bottom of the descent you cross a small stream to your right over a small wooden bridge. Continue along the contour and Fulton’s Rock (the size of a large house) is about 450m along the path. Return via the same route or continue on to Caracal Cave and return via the direct route to Caracal Cave.

Short in distance but tough on the legs. Path is not well defined from the 4km mark. It is very steep, bum slide on the way down and a scramble on the way up !
Stunning rock art (lots of it) - well worth the pain !
