Ash Springs Rock Art Site
E-P1120948On the return from a week-long camping trip with Harvey Smith to Spring Valley State Park, 18 miles north of Pioche, NV, we made a side trip to the Ash Springs Rock Art Site at Ash Springs, Nevada. This site contained 18 separately identified panels located on the desert varnished rocks spread around a 1/3-mile long walking trail. Even though many are barely recognizable due to the constant deterioration caused by weathering from the natural elements of sun, rain and wind, there are several that are still well defined. Harvey led with a map to locate each of the Petroglyphs, while I followed along behind with the camera and snapped pictures. Check it out here … Ash Springs Rock Art Site.
