Panther Intaglio is a rare earthen effigy—an ancient Native American panther carved into the ground near Hwy 106. Photograph the shallow incised figure plus surrounding prairie and river valley context. Best light is low sun (golden hour) to emphasize shallow relief; weekday mornings have fewer visitors. Small roadside parking and a short trail; site is protected—stay on paths and respect cultural significance. Spring–fall offers green contrast; late autumn highlights form against frost or light
