2009 visit to the Petroglyphs site

In mid September on a warm afternoon the visitor center was closed. However touring the site is encouraged. Fall flower were showy and bright. The trail led across the gently ascending hillside to the marked walking areas on the rock where the glyphs continue to speak silently to visitors. Lichens crowd some of the rock surfaces. The open prairie rises and falls to distant horizons. The glyphs, the sky and the horizons do not change year after year.
