Site Typerock art DescriptionLocated in "the cave" on the CPR tracks north of Crowsnest Lake, in a limestone cavern from which springs the main source of the Oldman River. The site consists of badly defaced and faded pictographs; the preserved ones seem to be a symbol, a man with two veritcal bars representing the neck and no head. Also found here were two fragments of limestone with ochre in them.
