Map Rock Road's Map Rock
The largest and most elaborate set of petroglyphs in the immediate area.

I had to google this one ... and I gather they differ from heiroglyths because they are etched/carved instead of drawn on.

Sorry to take so long - rough week.Originally Posted by Mad Aussie
Yes, essentially that's the difference. The technical term for painted ones is pictograph. Hieroglyphs are a pictographic writing system. (I've been trying to nail down some dates for these rocks, and learned all sorts of stuff in the process. But for the dates I'm seeing assertions without data to back it and official dates on registers without supporting reports).
There are also some pictographs on these rocks, though not as many as the petroglyphs. They tend to be in more sheltered spots on the rocks, so I'd guess that there were more that didn't survive the elements. Sample of some on the Map Rock below.
