If you’re planning a stay at Rock Springs / Green River KOA Journey, make sure to add a visit to the White Mountain Petroglyphs to your itinerary. Located just a short drive from the campground, these ancient rock carvings offer a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Native American tribes that once roamed this region.
Discover the History of the White Mountain Petroglyphs
The White Mountain Petroglyphs are one of Wyoming’s most significant archaeological sites. Estimated to be over 1,000 years old, the petroglyphs were created by indigenous peoples, likely the Fremont and Ute tribes, who lived in the area long before European settlers arrived. The carvings, etched into the reddish-brown cliffs of White Mountain, depict a variety of images, including animals, human figures, and abstract symbols.
Many of these petroglyphs are believed to represent spiritual or ceremonial practices, with some theorized to have been used as a form of communication or storytelling. The site features images of bighorn sheep, one of the region's most iconic animals, along with geometric shapes, handprints, and other symbols that provide insight into the everyday life, beliefs, and rituals of the area's original inhabitants. The petroglyphs are an invaluable window into the deep cultural and spiritual history of the region.
