I think when the rain comes, the flood will push the stone to move. After the water goes away, the trace left there.

I think independently of the explanation that scientist can provide to explain these phenomena; for sure it is amazing to see such well design tracks just made by nature.

Make us think that maybe some things that we consider work of men are in fact work of nature.

The rocks move when the shallow valley is flooded and then frozen.

So, could it possibly be hydroplaning? That is, when the heavy rocks sit through a rain storm, water is forced out of the soil and the slightest wind will move them because they ride on a cushion of water. Hard to believe I know in that environment but possible?

Not that mysterious. The ground is clearly dried mud. So it rains and the bottom gets muddy. Then the wind blows the mud past the stones. So it is not the stones that move but the ground.
