We were taken by a guide to a sacred
1st Nations site where there were petroglyphs
estimated to be between 5,000 and 10,000 years old.

Fascinating creations. The style is remarkably similar to petroglyphs I've seen in central America.

So much more durable than today's throwaway art! Amazing they'be survived centuries of moss and weather.
