Petroglyphs
Petroglyphs Provincial Parks is about 30 minutes east of Buckhorn and is the home to the largest known concentration of aboriginal rock carvings in Canada.. The large marble rock face has 900 petroglyphs depicting turtles, snakes, birds, humans and other images carved into it. In 1984 a building was constructed around the petroglyphs to preserve them by protecting them from the weather. As the site is considered a sacred location for many aboriginal tribes, visitors are asked to refrain from taking pictures. The park also has several hiking trails and small lakes.
The petroglyphs are know as the "teaching rocks". The above is one of the teachings.
As Ed couldn't take pictures of the petroglyphs he took a picture of a picture.
Zaph found a lake along one of the trails.

That's a beaver swimming underwater. We could see him from the rock we were sitting on.
