The Crystal Wash area of the Pahranagat Valley (Lincoln County, NV) is a great area. This area is filled with large boulders & water-carved narrows in the Hiko Mountain range, making for a fun time exploring the endless nooks & crevices. It’s an almost alien-like landscape. There are several petroglyphs, a few pictographs and other traces of prehistoric culture throughout. As I was exploring an ancient village site, a single large raven followed my movements throughout. It didn’t leave until I departed the site.
Beyond Crystal Wash, this area is loaded with ancient Native American rock art. It’s most well-known for the Pahranagat Man style petroglyphs, which only occur in the Pahranagat Valley. Click here to learn more about Pahranagat Man.
