Nevada's Public Rock Art Sites
"Preservation through Education"
| The state
of Nevada is fortunate to have many excellent examples of rock art,
but as is typical in most states, the majority of it is not - and
probably should not - be accessible to the general public. On
the bright side, there are some absolutely great
"Public Petroglyph Sites"
that individual agencies have set aside for everyone to view.
The problem is that finding information on these sites can be very
difficult, if not almost impossible, hence this web site. |
| In Nevada, most of the "Public Sites" are on open public lands managed by the BLM, and in most cases can be accessed by existing roads or trails. Please remember that when you come to a Wilderness Boundary and/or roads that are "Posted Closed", they are closed to all vehicular traffic including ATV's, but are open to hiking and horseback riding. Please use existing roads. Try to stay on established trails where possible, and watch where you park and where you hike. |
| Please note that we will not be supplying complete driving directions to Nevada's Public Rock Art Sites. What we will offer are coordinates for the site and photos of what you can expect to see when you get there. We decided against trying to give a complete set of "turn by turn" directions because of the constantly changing road conditions, as well as road closures by agencies and special interest groups. I will also be supplying information on public rock art sites that I have not personally visited as I obtain the information from either my own research or information given to me by viewers of this web site. |

All coordinates given on this web site are approximate.
Use common sense and caution when following any directions. If it does not look right, don't do it.
Disclaimer to keep my butt out of the proverbial wringer: Check with multiple sources to make sure all your information is up-to-date and accurate. Do not rely on only one source (such as our web site) to be the final word. Contact the BLM, Forest Service, Park Service or whomever, to get the most up-to-date road and trail information. Things can, and do, change very rapidly in the desert due to road construction, flash flooding, and other natural and/or man-made causes. Do the prudent thing and check before you venture out.
