The petroglyphs found here provide invaluable insight into the spiritual and cultural lives of the people who lived here thousands of years ago. This property is registered on the National Registrar of Historic Places. It has been extensively documented, including in the book 100 Years, 100 Ranchers, and has been featured on PBS, The History Channel’s Beyond Skinwalker Ranch and Ancient Aliens.
