Description
This photo was taken of the pictographs (they are actually red on a grey stone) along the Grotto Canyon hike near Exshaw, Alberta.
These pictographs were painted by the Hopi people and are estimated to range from 500-1300 years old. The Hopi people were said to have split into four groups to travel in four directions and meet at a final resting place in Arizona. The group that was believed to have created these pictographs was destined to travel north to the land of rock and ice.
Nowadays, the pictographs are barely visible to the naked eye and the image took some processing to bring them out.
