Review:
Castle Gardens Petroglyph Site is located in central Wyoming, and is known for its unusual formations.
Visitors have been drawn to this locale for thousands of years due to the windblown sandstone creations that are reminiscent of the turrets and towers of castles.
The area is filled with Native American rock art, better known as petroglyphs, specifically featuring the Castle Gardens Shield Style.
These are the oldest and most well-known illustrations of shield-bearing warrior figures, and have been characterized as “elaborate” and “carefully made” figures.
The unusual technique and distinguished style are what make them unique to Wind River and Bighorn Basin.
