Reviews of Legend Rock State Petroglyph Site (Park)

Lawrence Todd

This is World Class! Not to be missed if within 200 miles

Iren Tete

The attendant was very helpful and nice to chat with. The petroglyphs were stunning and worth the visit. There is a nice picnic area for eating lunch.

It's quite atmospheric

For living in Thermopolis for 16 years, I ventured out with my Mavic 2 Pro and took awesome photos from the air!

Sherri Burrows

Great historical site.

George Zettel

Nice easy hike and great history lesson - impressive drawings. The handout interpretive guide was VERY helpful. Thanks for preserving our history.

Charles Ziemer

Worth the drive to see it in person

Luke Young

Make sure to get a pamphlet at the trailhead. It explains a lot about the petroglyphs. The trail takes about 20 min to complete; it's about a quarter mile long or less. There is a river on the other side of the trail, but I didn't find a trail down to it, and I didn't want to blaze one.

A good hike, not long but it is a little precarious. Take your camera. Native art is out in the open for you to marvel at.

K. Shirley

Amazing historic site with petrographs dating back 11,000 years. But some people had added graffiti taking away from the significance of these rock drawings.

Anna Hall

Free! Kid/grandparent friendily, although not "handicap acessible" grandma with two bad knees made the walking trail pretty easily. Nice visitors center ran by good hearted volenteers. Fun to speculate

Richard Hill

Although about 35 miles from Thermopolis, Legend Rock is well worth a visit. The oldest glyph is about 11,000 years old and when you think of the effort to 'carve' each one...

Kathy Behrens

Wonderful petroglyphs

If you are interested in petroglyphs, take the time to drive to this isolated spot and imagine traveling back in time to when these petroglyphs were made. There are no facilities nearby. Bring water. There is a gate that may or may not be padlocked, so call the Thermopolis Hot Springs State Park front desk to inquire. There is a short hike from the parking lot to the path that will allow you to get quite close to the hundreds of images on the rock faces of a cliff running alongside the creek. The gravel road is maintained and small signs will direct you to Legend Rock.

Атмосферно, природный заповедник. Ничего особенного

Eric Barber

Amazing place to see petroglyphs in their original environment. This place is amazing.

James Warta

Excellent site hopefully vandalism can be contained to preserve this fragile piece of history

JB Davis

For me, this was a bucket list place. I have wanted to see petroglyphs for as long as I can remember, and there are some here just outside of Thermopolis. Word of advice, don't bother the nesting ravens.

You can drive an RV or truck with trailer here. Other reviews didn't say whether or not it was possible, so we wanted to clarify for those visiting the area that way. Because of other reviews about having a hard time finding it, we did not follow google maps and instead followed the signs from highway 120. It is pretty well marked and we had no issues finding it. This place is awesome. The visitor center is small, clean, and very informative. Make sure to get a map with the detail of the markers. My kids 9, 6, & 3 all had a great time on the little hike. This should be a must see if you are in the area or even going in, around, or near Cody or Casper. Take highway 120. You won't regret it.

Interesting artifacts. Worth the drive to visit.

Kimberly Herring

It was really cool to see. Just remember that it's a good drive out. Enjoy the scenery on the way.

Joseph Ritter

We saw this on Ancient Aliens and we had to see it in person, it was very cool, we drove out to the middle of nowhere, it’s hard to believe ancient people lived out there because there is nothing for miles. By the way, I also saw a rattlesnake so be very careful.

Rose and Mike Farmer

Good petroglyphs in a rather remote place. Gravel road there is in good condition. Be careful. Treat this place right. Do not touch the art!

Grant DeRocher

Fun walk.

Andy Montana

What an exciting place to visit a piece of ancient history alive right before your eyes, it's very sad that it was vandalized over the decades however the fact that it is under surveillance now and has a beautiful little Information Station I think is great.

Robert S

Pick up the sheet of paper describing the petroglyphs. Easy to view, and brochure adds a lot to the experience

Matt Abbott

Way cool

Dustin Gibson

We visited in offseason but still had a great time it was snowing well we looked at the petroglyphs and we had a great time!

brooke pickering

Truly a treasure, and very accessible for children we took our 3 yr old out there with no problem

Cindy Scott

very, very interesting

Brenda Czarnecki

Nice walk with really cool Native American Petroglyphs! It's very quiet and secluded. Wear appropriate footwear as the area does have rattlesnakes.

Shelly Downham

Very cool and worth the drive to literally the middle of nowhere

Ellie B

Although I tend to find petroglyphs pretty creepy looking most of the time, this was a really enjoyable visit! The history of the petroglyphs is so cool, and there are 360-degree views, including a little bit of the Rockies! Good for a short walk and to learn a bit about our shared human history!

D Manley

Nice path with informative signs to help you understand what you're look at.

Comfort Inn

Very interesting!

Charleen Weismantel

Very interesting and amazing. Directions are a bit dicey.

John Fish

Awesome, Enchanting, mystical.

Bill Stone

Definitely well worth the drive out of town to go see it.was rather easy to get a key and open up the gate and drive down another mile to the site.

Ralph Palmer

Close up views of petroglyphs believed to be from 9,000 years ago to the recent past.

Joshua Weickum

One of my favorite places to go, absolutely RICH with Dinwoody and the like petroglyphs. Exquisite!

Fran Scranton

Indian rock art as old as 9000 years old to 250 years old. Anthromphd, zoomorphs, and geometric designs are represented. Paleo Indian artists and shamans have left a story on the cliff faces. Sheepeater Indian, crow, and Cheyenne are represented. Visit in early morning or late afternoon for best time to visit.
