OREGON ROCK ART 
GALLERY
This page contains links to photos of rock art in Oregon. Both petroglyphs and pictographs exist at Oregon rock art sites. Usually one type predominates at any given site, although occasionally they are found together. Several of the links are to sites in Washington which, because it shares the Columbia River as a border, are relevant. At the bottom of the list are Great Basin sites in Idaho, California and Nevada.
The photographs here were taken by D. Russel Micnhimer and LeeAnn Johnston unless other wise noted. Both digital and analogue photography were used. In some instances the images have been digitally manipulated so that the rock art may be more fully resolved.
The majority of the sites were visited by J. Malcolm and Louise Loring who assigned site numbers and names to them. These numbers have been used to organize the galleries. Multiple entries for a rock art site indicate multiple visits and frequently contain different photos of the petroglyphs and pictographs. Several sites that were not inventoried by the Lorings are also included. Additional links are supplied to galleries that may interest those interested in archaeology in Oregon.
Loring photographs are digital photos of black and white originals and may contain errors in site number labeling, flash glare and duplicates.
Since there over 4500 photographs in the galleries, the first link below is to a gallery of some of our favorite images, unsorted by site, that will give viewers an idea of the types of photographs that can be seen in the site galleries below. The rest of the galleries may be accessed by scrolling down.
