History


Description

The Vasco Caves are not exactly caves, but as often with prehistoric cave paintings, shelters or abris. A number of overhanging cliff faces among the many large sandstone outcrops contain cave paintings or murals. A variety of styles reflects a mixture of local and regional Native American influences.
