I discovered that petroglyphs and pictographs are scattered through a large region by Caliente, NV.

I visited sites in an area that was 20 miles south of the Kershaw Ryan State Park to 20 miles north. There are a number of sites and if you are inquisitive the BLM will give you the coordinates to them. There are no signs marking the location. Here is a sample of what I saw. All photos have been digitally enhanced.






I visited seven sites and some took a bit of diligence to find even though I had the coordinates. For one site I had the coordinates indicating where I was to leave the major highway. Then I had instructions to drive 2.15 miles to the site. My problem was that there were two roads – which one do I drive?

This was a happy adventure by selecting the wrong road. It was a fun drive.
After back tracking and taking the other road this was my find.


I would have loved to look around for more petroglyphs and pictographs – a kind of adult hide and seek, but with an old dog I left the hide and seek adventure for another trip.
