PICTOGRAPH CAVE STATE PARK

Designated a national historic monument in 1964, due to its historical and archeological significance, the site provides more than 100 pictograms and rock paintings, prehistoric hunters and more recently Amerindian tribes in the region. It can be seen, in particular, from rifles, horses and other animals. The oldest rock art dates over 2,000 years; the most recent additions are estimated between 200 and 500 years. An interpretive trail of just over one kilometer away from the Visitor Center leads to Pictograph, Middle and Ghost caves. It is advisable to bring binoculars to better appreciate pictograms. The walk is also an opportunity to observe the many birds that live in the region and the spectacular landscapes of the park. Plan to stop at the Visitor Center for more information on site visit and history.
