Geocache Description:


Nevada is a key location for viewing ancient Native American rock art in the form of petroglyphs and pictographs, much of it thousands of years old. Some of the most significant and well - preserved sites in Nevada are in easily - accessible areas. Other important rock art sites are found throughout the southwestern United States. The dry desert climate and sparse population in Nevada have been big factors in preserving these remnants of prehistoric life in the Great Basin. In both northern and southern, there are several rock art sites that are open to the public. When visiting rock art sites, maintain a respectful distance and do not climb on or touch the art. It may look durable, but even the oil from your fingers can alter what has lasted for thousands of years. Binoculars can give you a close up look, and telephoto lenses can do the same for pictures. Rock art sites are priceless cultural artifacts and are protected by law.
