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 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 13. This site consists of two boulders. The larger, more obvious boulder has faint bighorn petroglyphs on the shady northwest face. The smaller boulder to the right is marked on the other side: a nice bighorn.

Note that the backside of the main boulder here is Site 14.
