EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of Dinosaur National Monument in Colorado, USA, lies the captivating Cub Creek, where ancient Fremont style petroglyphs grace the sandstone cliffs. These intricately drawn lizards, a hallmark of the Fremont culture, are believed to date back to around 1250 AD. The Fremont people were among the earliest known inhabitants of the American Southwest, and their petroglyphs offer a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. The arid desert landscape, dotted with sagebrush and juniper trees, creates a stark yet beautiful contrast to the vibrant, horizontal petroglyphs. The lizards, depicted with varying degrees of detail, are often accompanied by other symbols and drawings, adding to the intrigue of these ancient works of art. The petroglyphs are not only a testament to the artistic prowess of the Fremont people but also serve as a bridge to the past, connecting us to the history and traditions of the Native American communities that once thrived in this region. The sedimentary rock, etched with the fossilized remnants of prehistoric creatures, bears witness to the passage of time and the interconnectedness of the natural and cultural histories of the area. Visitors to Dinosaur National Monument can explore the Cub Creek area on foot, taking in the breathtaking vistas and the fascinating petroglyphs that adorn the cliffs. The experience is a humbling reminder of the enduring legacy of the Fremont people and the awe-inspiring history of the American Southwest. As we stand before these ancient drawings, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and honoring the history and traditions of the past, while also cherishing the natural beauty that surrounds us. The Fremont style lizard petroglyphs along Cub Creek at Dinosaur National Monument serve as a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of the natural and cultural worlds, inviting us to explore, learn, and appreciate the wonders of our shared human and geological heritage.
