Pecked Pictures of Petroglyph Point
Lava Beds National Monument, a volcanic cone of rock rising above the surrounding farmlands in Siskiyou County, is covered with petroglyphs: abstract shapes, animal figures and human outlines pecked into the rock about seven feet above the ground. Extending for hundreds of feet, the petroglyphs are fenced off to protect them from vandals, but can easily be seen from behind the barrier.
