Can you spot the carved images of birds and humans as you climb the stairs to the top? Feel a connection with the people who called this area home for centuries! You can’t say that everyday! And after a hard day’s hike on the trails, retire to your campfire to imagine what it was like to live in the past. Get connected with history this weekend at Roche-A-Cri State Park.
