Day 1 continued...

Horse Thief Lake State Park

Petroglyphs! 

We went on a 2 mile hike, burned many many calories (I like to track my calories haha). We were told to look out for rattlesnakes! :(

We observed many petroglyphs which are "rock carvings". Most of these rocks were very high up. The actual carvings themselves are reddish and whitish in color. All drawings were well preserved, this is because scientists put something on them to protect them. Most of the petroglyphs were environmental drawings of things like the sun, rainbows, and there was even a lightning bolt. There was one animal which was an owl which I know means bad luck...

Overall seeing the petroglyphs were a "snapchat"into the past and a glance at my ancestors :)
