Nestled in the heart of Oregon's high desert lies Summer Lake. But it is not just the tranquil waters and expansive skies that draw visitors here. It is the mysterious petroglyphs etched into the rocks.
The designs were scraped into a basalt boulder by ancient Native Americans, probably between 7,500 and 12,000 years ago. These images predate the Egyptian pyramids.
In 1938 archaeologist Luther Cressman (from the University of Oregon) excavated at nearby Fort Rock Cave where he found the world’s oldest shoes.
Because of its cultural significance and unique archaeological value, the Picture Rock Pass Petroglyphs Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
