Legend Rock Petroglyph Site is located in Hot Springs County, Wyoming, 20 miles northwest of Hot Springs State Park (which is located in Thermopolis, Wyoming). Legend Rock is a petroglyph site which features hundreds of individual petroglyphs spread across the face of the rock. Although a handful of the rock's etchings have variously been eroded and defaced, a wide majority have been preserved for public viewing.[1] The nearly 300 individual petroglyphs feature some of the oldest and best examples of Dinwoody rock art in the world.[2] The origins of the petroglyphs are still subject to debate. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1973[1] and it is preserved by the state of Wyoming as a state historic site.
