This Martis site (2000 BC–500 AD) played a key role in the founding of FSRA (see the history section on our website). It sits on the edge of the American River canyon, offering a spectacular view with the river lying 3,000 feet below. One photo shows the small outcrop where the petroglyphs were created, framed by distant trees and mountains. Another features the silver ammunition can placed at the site, which holds etiquette guidelines and a notebook for visitors to record their impressions. Both the notebook and the posted guidelines are intended to foster respect for this remarkable location and to help discourage vandalism.
