- Title: Legend Rock Perspective
- Description: Legend Rock State Petroglyph Site is a 400 meter long, near vertical cliff with more than 50 prehistoric petroglyph panels and over 300 petroglyph figures. While the site is not extensively promoted, Legend Rock is already a world-renowned petroglyph site located 30 miles northwest of Thermopolis, Wyoming. Legend Rock has been a sacred site for Native Americans of this region for thousands of years. Local concern for the preservation and protection of the site led to acquisition of the property as a Wyoming State Petroglyph Site in 1973. During the same year, the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. 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. The site also features several historic era inscriptions, mostly names and dates associated with European-American visitors. The oldest is 1834, which by Wyoming standards is quite early, in the period of early exploration and mountain men.
