Overview

The Ash Springs Petroglyph Site is an area of lightly desert-varnished boulders on a low hill overlooking the verdant Pahranagat Valley. Ancient people apparently liked the view, as they used the site as a winter camp. While there, they ground food, flaked stones, broke ceramic vessels, and etched the rocks with scenes of bighorn sheep, human figures, and intricate designs of all sorts.

Listed here are details of Site 1. This site consists only of the sign-in register and the contents of the box. Be sure to pick up a brochure and use the map to find the numbered sites because the trail between numbered sites is not marked.
