These are pictographs from Hospital Rock in Sequoia National Park, Califonia. It is east to get to from the main road and only a stone stair step up to this magnificent panel! You can see the zig zag and rattlesnake motifs, though to be a spirit helper. By the way, that's a really bad picture of me but I though it was cute I'm holding my favorite rock art book.
Found your post through google while trying to learn about the Hospital Rock pictographs. I took a photo of them in July 1978 that is now posted on Flickr.
ReplyDeleteare these chumash images? Some trees in this immediate area have very peculiar odors, I wonder if they were introduced by these people. Can you identify them and are they included in the recent chumash ethnobotanical guide?
