The real reason we came out to Iosepa was to track down Story Rock. This rock is pretty unique- it's covered in Hawaiian petroglyphs.

We had about a 2 mile (roundtrip) hike to see the rock. I'm debating about how much info to put here, so let me know if I should add more or less. The rock is located on one of the Bonneville Shoreline benches east of Iosepa.

I couldn't figure out what this last one was. After looking at it for a while I thought it was a petroglyph of a crab. Studing it some more, I am now pretty sure it is one of a rabbit. Blogger turned it sideways- sorry!

ReplyDeleteIt's up the hill (east) from Iosepa. It's been a number of years since I was there. I think it's about a mile or so.
