Black Canyon Petroglyph Gallery ( Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge)
I visited the Black Canyon Petroglyph Site on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 6, 2019. I had never heard of this site, but noticed it on a map. It is located within the Pahranagat National Wildlife Preserve, right on Nevada Highway 93 (South of Alamo, Nevada). The gate to the access road was locked, so I went to the visitor center, hoping to get permission to hike up to the cliff that contained the petroglyphs. The visitor center was closed and I could not locate any park personnel, so I had to be satisfied with taking photos from the road with my long lens. I would love to look at this site up close some day! As a sidenote, the map I was using also identified a site off Alamo Canyon Road as “Black Point Petroglyphs”. I didn’t have time to make the drive to this location, but perhaps next time!
