Nevada rock art and petroglyph sites

Petroglyph / Rock Art Sites in

Southern Nevada

This web site is devoted to educating people about Petroglyph / Rock Art sites in Southern Nevada.  Rock art in Southern Nevada reaches back two to three thousand years and possibly even further according to some experts.  In Nevada you will find examples of  petroglyphs and/or pictographs created by the Paiute, Shoshone, Chemehuevi, as well as the Anasazi people.  In our search for rock art, we have visited the well-known public petroglyph / Rock Art sites in the Red Rock Conservation Area, Sloan Canyon, Grapevine Canyon, Keyhole Canyon, Gold Butte, and the Valley of Fire, as well as numerous other petroglyphs sites throughout the greater Clark County, Nevada.  This web site has been established to provide the beginner - as well as the seasoned - rock art researcher easy visual access to a concentrated amount of petroglyph / rock art sites from one specific region - Southern Nevada.

"Preservation through Education"

I am constantly updating this web site, so please check back regularly.  If you know of any obscure sites or isolated petroglyphs and you are willing to share that information, please contact me by clicking here.
