For centuries, First Nations peoples left a record of their culture by incising rock art on the cliffs of Writing-on-Stone / Áísínai'pi.  The Archaeological Preserve (Restricted Access Area) has the greatest concentration of rock art found in the park.

  • Join a Park Interpreter for a 2.25 hour guided walk into the Archaeological Preserve.
  • Learn about the plants, animals and landscapes here, as well as the stories revealed by the rocks of Writing-on-Stone.

The Rock Art Tour runs at 2:00 p.m. from May through October.  During July and August, there is also a tour at 10:00 a.m.

Please do not approach or touch the cliffs or rock art. Petroglyphs are very fragile. They can be easily damaged even by light touching of fingers or tracing paper.

Notes

  • The walk on this tour is low to moderately difficult.
  • This program is NOT wheelchair accessible or stroller accessible.
