Columbia river gorge rock art

An owl-like creature along with other figures is etched into relief against a rock on the "Temani Pesh-wa" trail (also "written on rock" trail) in Columbia Hills State Park on the Washington Side of the Columbia River Gorge. This petroglyph was removed from the famous "Petroglyoh Canyon" along the Columbia River before it was flooded by construction of The Dalles Dam in 1957. The Army Corps Of Engineers stored the rock art until 2004 when Temani Pesh-wa trail was built.
