Pu'u Loa Petroglphs on the Big Island in Volcanos National Park. The trail to the petroglyph field is 0.7 miles but an easy walk over some rough areas of pahoehoe lava. This particular field consists of over 15,000 individual petroglyph images that have been scratched and pecked into the hard pahoehoe surface. (I did get this info from a web site). But to go there and just stand and be surrounded by these petroglyphs was just truly amazing.

I think its pretty amazing too. When I saw my first petroglyph in Nevada I was excited. That's alot that you got to see. Really interesting.
