Seminole Canyon State Historical Park
Northwest of Del Rio about nine miles past the town of Comstock lies this unique park. Archaeologists believe the early residents (about 8500 years ago) of Seminole Canyon were hunter-gatherers, living on plants and small animals but much about these early dwellers remains a mystery. Hunting was probably limited to deer and rabbits, and instead the Indians survived as foragers, living on sotol, prickly pear, and lechugilla. The culture that made its home in this canyon produced the artwork now seen on guided tours. Sign up at the Visitors Center for the ranger-led walk to the Fate Bell Shelter, a rock overhang that boasts the oldest rock art in North America with ochre, black and white paintings. One painting, known as the three shamans, portrays three figures, one with antlers atop his head. Back to Del Rio Index
