The petroglyphs are enclosed in a shelter to protect them from further damage. The shelter is open at different times during the year and by appointment. The petroglyphs can also be seen through the windows the the shelter. The petroglyphs resemble human footprints, crosses, sun symbols, arrows, snails, and birds. They have been attributed to the Southeastern Ceremonial Complex, AD 1100-1600. There are several interpretive signs explaining the petroglyphs.
