On the walls of these caves are indian and nomad petroglyphs that are thousands of years old. I chose a few to share with every one!
I love how this particular picture inside of the cave makes me look so tiny! They used to dry meat through a natural chimney that is directly above my head. Over the years the parks service has stuffed large rocks in it so that the visitors didnt hurt themselves trying to slide around in it. Of course I went past the barriers to look.
This is just a great view of the walk way the parks service built for viewing the walls. I loved this area.
For some reason this pic of me is every ones favorite that we have shown these to. So I felt it only right to share with you guys as well!
If you look really close you can see the Missouri River back in the shadows. This was a view on the almost 4 mile hike we took at the begining of our day.

Hi Hulai! Happy Independence Day. Great shots..you look awesome!
I've not visited many caves in my life, but those i've been to always left a deep impression. I also think caves are so mysterious and holds so many secrets...
Ok so Im the one that loves the out doors. Those caves were pretty cool.
Viv.. Let me guess the one of me standing on the fencing looking up. Cant see my face?? Thats every ones favorite.
Nat... I love that pic of me and Adam. It turned out really well. I was trying so hard not to laugh when the camera went off.
I loved those caves. They were so beautiful. Infact the entire park was. My favorite of those pics is the one that is one the top. The one of me touching the grave stone. I didnt even know Adam was taking pictures when he took that one. It was a sad stone but it spoke to me as a mother whose child was never able to live. Yeah sentiments like that get me.
Well u guessed it right :). I guess u need to visit Ajantha and Ellora caves once in your life time. The wall paintings are splendid, i was really impressed with the creativity of ppl & the kind of tools they used to bring out such exoctic paintings.
