Public Rock Art Sites
Please Note:
Due to flooding in January 2005, the road through Rainbow Canyon is currently closed to public use (except locals) from just below Caliente going south to Elgin. It is expected to be reopened in the fall of 2008.Stop #2:
Petroglyphs (1.4 miles north of Stop 1): Watch for a dip in the road - a large concrete channel which allows water to go over the road - and just beyond the dip and up on the left side (west side), you will start seeing the rock art. The petroglyphs are scattered on the hillside from about 10' above the road to about 150' up the side of the hill. There are not a lot of petroglyphs, but some of them are nice. See map for Stop #2
