Leo Petroglyph is an         outstanding example of         prehistoric Indian inscriptions. 
         On the edge of a beautiful         ravine, the sandstone petroglyph         contains 37 incised drawings of         humans, animals, and human         and animal footprints. It is now         protected by a roof and viewing         platform. The carvings, whose         meaning is unknown, are         attributed to Fort Ancient         Indians who occupied this area         between AD 1000 and 1650. 
         A trail leads through the gorge and along the unglaciated Mississippian         sandstone cliffs that are 20 to 65 feet high. Wildflowers and birds are         abundant during the warmer months.
