Crystal Wash Petroglyph Gallery

The Crystal Wash Rock Art Site is located off Nevada Highway 93 between Alamo and Caliente.  The site is acessed by a dirt road by turning north off Hwy 93 at mile marker 55 (4.1 miles east of the intersection of 93 and State Road 318).  I visited this site on the late morning of Wednesday, November 6, 2019.  The main site is supposed to have over 70 recorded panels of rock art, but much of the art is barely visible.  The petroglyphs were made on friable tuff boulders that have eroded and degraded from many years of weathering.  I had a nice morning hiking the wash, and am glad to have visited this place despite the poor condition of most of the rock art.

I made a wrong turn and as a result spent a couple of hours searching the wrong part of the wash. This is all I found!
A typical panel in Crystal Wash.
Difficult to tell what these elements are.
This was probably an impressive panel in its day.
This is probably the signature panel at Crystal Wash, but badly eroded.
One of the better preserved panels at Crystal Wash.
These panels are on an almost flat boulder surface.
