Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park

This is a view from Petroglyph Beach in Wrangell Alaska. It is a short walk from the centre. To be honest there are very little original carvings left on the site. They have been moved to the museum for preservation. The few on the beach are very faded. The beach is still worth checking out. There is a platform with replicas and a lot of information. We collected ferns and got some butcher paper and did a rubbing of a replica. It came out really well.
