Description

This is an out and back trail open to all recreation types that stops at each of the 5 petroglyph sites. The White river Narrows is home to the largest collection of petroglyph sites in Eastern Nevada, with some art dating back to over 4,000 years ago. Do to the rhyolite rocks that form the canyons, the petroglyphs have been very well preserved and are still easy to see today.
