Just a little pull off where you can answer your phone or get a bit of work done. No washrooms or amenities.

Really needs a clean up. Petroglyphs are covered in moss and debris as are the concrete replications. No signage as to how far in from parking to petroglphs.

A neat spot to stop along the highway. A short 10 minute loop leads you to replicas and real petroglyphs. A fair amount of graffiti and damage to the history of the site.

If you're interested in the petroglyphs but don't have much time, you can:
- walk up from the parking lot
- read the interpretive signs
- see the petroglyph casts
- continue to see some actual petroglyphs:)
- and return to your vehicle in an astounding *15 minutes*! So don't miss it! (Of course, you can reflect, nature-bathe and hike the trails too).
Lovely petroglyphs that will inspire respect for the indigenous artists.

Went by there to check it out and it was very interesting. The Petroglyph Replicas could use a cleaning every once in a while as here were covered with some Moss. But it was a very nice and clean.

Short trail to concrete casts and good signs with all that known about the petroglyphs. Little further along are the petroglyphs themselves. Hard to see as they are covered in moss. Fences haven't done a great job in keeping people to trails as usual.
