Rock Art in Bonner County, Idaho.
Pictographs in Idaho are mainly found north of the Snake River. Priest Lake Indian Pictographs which can be toured by boat. Thought to have been made by the Kalispel tribe, in the time around and immediately prior to contact with Europeans.
"These images are of vast historical significance due to their evolutionary recording of local eating habits, tribe interactions, and hunting practices."
The location given is for Priest Lake State Park, and not for the rock art itself. See the National Forest Service website and a website for several lake businesses for more information.
