- Title: 7000 Years BC
- Description: The site is located along the northern terraces and vertical sandstone cliffs of Cottonwood Creek in the southwestern Bighorn Basin. Legend Rock features over 50 separate rock panels with over 300 different petroglyphs (images pecked or carved into rock) and a few pictographs (drawn or painted on the rock). The site is probably best known for it’s large, elaborate, and highly abstract anthropomorphic petroglyphs. There are also depictions of humans as well as birds and animals such as elk, deer, bighorn sheep, horses, canids, and buffalo. According to researcher carbon dating analysis, archaeological tests have estimated the age of the oldest of these images at around 9,000 years. Their Dinwoody style of “pecked” petroglyphs is unique to the Wind River and Bighorn basins of northcentral Wyoming. Legend Rock contains the largest and best preserved Dunwoody collection in the world.
