    Hiking

    In the past, people sought shelter from the weather in the narrow gorges. That's why you'll find many drawings here, including some of the oldest, which are said to have been created around 1,000 - 2,000 years ago. The canyons were also used for hunting, with buffalo being driven over the edge. Today, swallows in particular live here, and you can discover the odd nest.
