Split Rock (Marker #10; view NW) |
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 10. This site consists of one split boulder sitting atop another boulder. This is not a petroglyph site; rather this is a landmark along the trail between Marker #9 and Marker #11.
