Traces of past travelers?

Look at these two photos:


I took these photos today, on the east side of the Mormon Rocks in the Cajon Pass.  The ruts in the top photo appear to have been made by wagon wheels.  Using a tape measure, I determined that the ruts are approximately 55" edge-to-edge. 

The ruts look really old, and they don't appear to have been made by the tires of a motorized vehicle.

A close look at the second photo reveals another set of ruts, that climb the lower rock formation.

Thoughts anyone?
