Whitney Pockets Petroglyph Site 1

All mileages and coordinates given on this web site are approximate.  Use common sense and caution when following any directions.

At approximate mile 21.1 is the end of the pavement (W/pt #003).  A short distance beyond the end of pavement, the road divides.  If you go straight, you end up heading towards Devils Throat; if you turn left, you go to Whitney Pockets 1.  Because of the camping in this area, it can be extremely crowded on weekends and holidays, which is why I try not to visit this part of Gold Butte except on week days.
