11/19/2014 Trip Notes: Because I ran out of time on my last visit here, I decided to visited the Black Canyon Petroglyph Site once again, this time with hiking partners Robert Croke and Blake Smith. Heading to an area we missed on our last visit, we found dozens more petroglyphs including the famous Pahranagat Man. Click this link for pictures and information on this latest visit ...

11/13/2014 Trip Notes: I made this trip to the Pahranagat DWR with the rock-hounds from the Heritage Park's Senior Facility. Because I have been here on two previous occasions, my objective for this visit was to hike in the Black Canyon area and locate some of the Black Canyon petroglyphs.

06/18/2012 Trip Notes: On the first day of a week-long camping trip with Harvey Smith to Spring Valley State Park, north of Pioche, NV, we made a couple of stops at the Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge that boarders the western side of US-93. Having driven past the Lower Lake and the meadows surrounding Middle Pond, (see map above) we decided to make a stop at the refuge’s headquarters. We spent nearly an hour walking around this area taking in the scenic views and observing the abundant wildlife. We saw numerous birds, roadrunners, cottontail rabbits and long eared jackrabbits. We also toured two old buildings in the process of restoration; one of stone and one a log cabin that was surrounded by some of the oldest Cottonwood trees (Panel 01) we’ve ever seen.

| After leaving the area around the refuge headquarters, we headed north and entered the refuge again, driving along the eastern side of the Upper Lake (refer to map above). The first picture below was taken from inside a duck blind located along the lake’s northern shore. As we drove and hiked along the lakes edge, taking in the beautiful scenery it provided, we were serenaded by the sounds of birds, ducks and some very deep throated to bullfrogs. |
