In addition to finding the red, blue and yellow rock painting you can discover pictographs.           You'll also see graffiti from 1888 - Wes Martin Another 1888 inscription           Carving from the 1900's 1903 - Voss             1913 - Wisconsin 1919 - Crying Woman           1929 - McClusky 1935 - Nedra L.          If you stop by the Carter County Museum in Ekalaka,  you will find a photograph      of Teddy's Roosevelt's signature carved at Medicine Rocks.
Anything else after the 1940's decade is senseless vandalism.  You can't go to nearby Mount Rushmore and carve your initials in the nose
of the seventy-year-old monument of Abraham Lincoln.   Sadly, people of all ages don't hesitate to vandalize Montana's 300-year-old natural monument.
The good news is, the severe vandalism is confined within a hundred yards of the air-conditioned car sitting in the parking lot.
