“outstanding example of prehistoric Indian inscriptions”

Leo Petroglyph is an outstanding example of prehistoric Indian inscriptions. On the edge of a beautiful ravine, the sandstone petroglyph contains 37 incised drawings of humans, animals, and human and animal footprints. It is now protected by a roof and viewing platform. The carvings, whose meaning is unknown, are attributed to Fort Ancient Indians who occupied this area between AD 1000 and 1650.

Weird beard the amenities show “No parking” when their actually is. But yeah, most of those question marked ones are a “no”.
No bathroom (not even a port-a-potty!) , no WiFi, no credit cards (nothing to buy anyway), not ADA friendly, nothing really…, a few picnic tables, trash cans and a small gravel parking lot -lots of trees so plenty of shade.

The glyphs themselves were cool- only the big bird guy with antlers (Jan 6 shaman was predicted a 1000 years ago?!) was really visible …the others were a lil’ harder to see. Sad was all the goons that scratched their own “Huck + Sally” type of lover graffiti alongside the ancient art…gosh, people are the worst.

The signs pointing to “Petroglyph trail” right from the overhang shading the glyphs and picnic tables were a nice touch (surprised no trash in the petroglyph “pit”) , but after crossing the lil’ bridge the trail was pretty much an overgrown mess. I’m not walking through that tick- infested weeds/ greenery!! Heavens no.

So…that was really the gist of this lil’ tour stop on our way back to Nevada.

Oh well- kinda neat to see, but I wouldn’t recommend going much out of your way to see it unless you’re by there anyway.
