Basque Sheepherders

There are areas long Last Dollar Road where the Aspen trees are full of really interesting markings. The markings, known as Arborglyphs, were left by Basque Sheepherders who used the trees to communicate with other sheepherders as they were traveling through the West. Most markings have scarred over so you can’t make out the design but if you’re lucky, you can find some that are quite ornate.
