Native American Petroglyphs

Just 10 miles outside of Laughlin, NV is a canyon that an unknown tribe of native Americans once lived. They left many signs behind, including petroglyphs.

A short trip North on Highway 163, and a right turn on Christmas Tree Pass road, we made it to Grapevine Canyon. The site of the petroglyphs.


We are getting used to the desert landscape and climate. Beautiful country.


Love the variety of cactus.

We parked at the trailhead. Not many people here today.



Off we went back into the past.





Following an old river bed, we arrived at what was once the settlement of some long ago peoples.

A bunch of rock artists?





I can't imagine what they were trying to capture in their rock etchings.




Why didn't they hang around the Colorado River? Why here? They say it is Sacred ground.





And what kinda pictures are they trying to express?

Aliens?





 We got our exercise that day and had fun doing it.





Fun, Fun!
