The Torrey Creek Rock Art site near Dubois is part of a cultural landscape that has been used by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. The petroglyphs found here are believed to have been created by ancestors of the Shoshone people, possibly dating back as far as 1,000 to 2,000 years. These images are not just random markings; they carry deep spiritual, ceremonial, and practical significance, often depicting animals, human figures, hunting scenes, and abstract or symbolic patterns.
This area of Wyoming was a seasonal crossroads for multiple Native cultures who moved through the Wind River region following game and favorable weather. Torrey Creek, with its reliable water source and access to highland and lowland ecosystems, would have been an ideal stopping point. The rock art may have served as territorial markers, storytelling tools, or elements of spiritual practice.
