Indian Grinding Rock State Park

Last Friday we went to Indian Grinding Rock State Park in Volcano California. I'd been wanting to go for a while and we finally took some time to do it.


The sheer number of holes in rocks was very impressive, especially when you start thinking about how long it must have taken the Native Americans to grind out those holes.


We had some rain last week so most of the holes were filled with water.


It was such a beautiful day.


They had a replica village and a round house that the local tribe uses for ceremonies.


We saw this awesome hawk in a huge oak tree.


The park was really awesome and totally worth the drive to go see it. However, on the way up there we saw signs for Dark Chasm National Landmark. It was just a couple miles up the road from the park but we didn't know what it was so we didn't go. Turns out it's a really cool cave that you can take a walking tour through. I totally want to go back and check that out some time.
