City Map with Features
Rising above the prairie grasses stand bare islands of rock where American Indians left carvings, or petroglyphs, depicting humans, deer, elk, buffalo, turtles, thunderbirds, atlatls and arrows. The pictures, struck by chisels of hard stone or antler with hammerstones, may have served record important events, depict sacred ceremonies, and relate the importance of animals and hunting to these early people. The glyphs appear to range in date from 3000 BC to AD 1750. A new on-site visitor center is now open offering exhibits, a multimedia presentation, restrooms and a drinking fountain. Site open Monday-Friday 10 am-5pm, Saturday 10am-8pm & Sunday noon-8pm, Memorial Day-Labor Day; September Fridays and Saturdays 10am-5pm, Sundays noon-5pm. Open by appointment. School season hours may vary. Admission charged, different fees may apply for special events.
