Description
Petroglyph Canyon, Valley of Fire state park, Nevada.
These ancient petroglyphs carved through the desert varnish on the surface of the stones so the red rock of the Aztec sandstone below shines through have remained for thousands of years. It is believed the earliest were carved by the Basketmaker people over 2,500 years ago, followed by the Anasazi, the ancient Pueblo culture, and the Paiute, various ancient Native American cultures who passed through the valley over millennia.
