Thompson Canyon Pictographs

The Thompson Canyon Pictographs site (also known as the Sego Canyon Pictograph site) is an impressive place. Large panels of Ute, Fremont, Anasazi, Barrier Canyon, Archaic pictographs, and petroglyphs adorn the cliff walls of the canyon.

We visited a small petroglyph and pictograph site out in the middle of a lonely Nevada valley. The petroglyphs are primarily around a rain-filled tinaja in a basalt lava flow. The tinaja is the only source of water for some distance. This would have been an important stop while traveling,

Woods Wash Petroglyphs

Woods Wash Petroglyphs

The Dzrtgrls and I headed to the Mojave desert a few years ago to find a petroglyph and pictograph site. We were not disappointed. This is a large petroglyph site that requires a few miles of hiking. It has thousands of petroglyphs and covers several square miles in a lonely
