Roughly 1,000 years old, some ancient artisan or artisans pecked images into the dark basalt using another rock for a tool. These images are call petroglyphs. The message that they portray suggests that the area was important to the ancient communicator as a hunting ground. One of the petroglyphs is a dramatic depiction of a deer herd entering the canyon.
