A few miles off US 35 in southeastern Ohio is a small park known named the Leo Petroglyphs. We've seen the sign every time we drive to or from Chicago, but we never stopped. Today we did.
Compared to the petroglyphs we saw out west, these are pretty disappointing. They are carved into sandstone and are protected by a small shelter. However, they are difficult to see and have been defaced by more recent carvings of initials, names, etc. (Very disappointing!)
