Writing-On-Stone

Petroglyph reproduced in iron at the visitor centre.


We love rocks and rock art.   On our way south to the border we decided to visit Writing on Stone Provincial Park for a few days.   It's a very cool place.  Hoodoos, valley, river and rock art.  The Blackfoot people used to visit here and record events or happenings and visit the spirits. 
The kids and I went on a tour of the archeological preserve and were able to see hundreds of rock art figures.  Mostly carved into the rocks prior to 1897.





 Great stories, and landscape and climbing and hiking and....wait for it....truck trouble.
