Rock Art in Texas.
Multicolor Pictograms in a shallow cave along Dark Canyon near Devils River. The rock art here, like that in many locations in the Lower Pecos and Rio Grande valley drainages is considered to be roughly 4000 years old and older.
The people who made this art belonged to a society predating agriculture and ceramics.
Access to this site is uncertain. Although many rock art sites in this area are on public land, others are on private land or require access through private lands. The location given is approximate for the canyon's connection to Devils River, and does not indicate he location of the shelter. Tours to this site may be available, but not of a regular basis, through either
The Rock Art Foundation or SHUMLA, two local organizations dedicated to research, protection, and education.
This information will be updated when possible.
