Keyhole Canyon

The petroglyphs at this site are concentrated at the entrance of the canyon, but also extend to the left and right of the entrance.  Look up high and at eye level - they are everywhere.  The longer you look the more you will see.
Location:  When traveling south on Highway 95 heading towards Searchlight, Nevada, and once you have passed the Nelson cutoff, start watching for mile marker 41.  At approximately .6 of a mile past (south of) mile marker 41, on your left as you are heading south (east side of the road), you will see a white metal cattle guard. Turn left (east) at the cattle guard.
Cross over the cattle guard heading east on the dirt road.  You well see a set of 3 high voltage towers approximately 2.0 miles ahead of you.  Cross under the first set of high voltage lines and continue heading towards the second set.  Between the second and third towers you will see another dirt road.  Turn right (south) on that dirt road.  In approximately 1.7 miles you will see tower number 23E3 on your left.  About 50' beyond the tower is a road going to your left and straight towards Keyhole Canyon.  Follow that road a short distance to the parking area.
