Mckee Springs Petroglyphs

McKee Springs petroglyphs
southeast flank of the Ulnta Mountains
twenty-two miles past Quarry Visitor Center
a long ways from Kansas City

take island park Road
it is impassible during wet or winter weather
call and ask before you attempt passage

do not touch the story-telling petroglyphs
they are fragile and irreplaceable
do not trace or rub, you could ruin them
the park is heavily patrolled too

dinosaur remains are visible there also
embedded in the rocks
hinting at earlier civilizations and species
both cultures there to view and visualize as you may

feelings of connectedness with both ancients and dinosaurs
found few places in the continental USA
but found there
