Savona Caves Pictographs
High in the cliffs on Savona Mountain are the Savona Caves, part of Savona Mountain Provincial Park. It is steep climb up rocky ridges to the caves. In the caves are some embedded boulders with First Nations pictographs.
All images are red, probably from ochre and seem to follow the same icon patterns of other Interior sites.
Caves were sometimes considered spiritual places and red was the symbol of life and luck.
Hikers are asked to respect the integrity of the pictographs in the caves. They are part of our heritage and we are all responsible to protect the site for the future.
