I could not go to the actual spot as it is Private Property and I got it from the Petroglyph Park Website that it is Forbidden to go to a Private Property to get the Picture of the actually Petroglyph.

Since the Actual Site is now Protected and a Request from the First Nation Peoples not to go to the Actual Site and not to even take Pictures of the Site, getting the Images of the Site from the Petroglyph Provincial Park Information Post was the best I could do.

First Nation Request to leave Site Alone is Posted on the following Link:
https://gabriolamuseum.org/petroglyph-park/

"Please note that the original petroglyphs are fragile, and there are penalties for defacing them. The Snuneymuxw have requested that no photographs or rubbings be taken of the petroglyphs."
