Hickison Petroglyph Rec Site

Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Site is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and history buffs located in the Diamond-Monitor Valleys watershed of Nevada in the United States. The site is home to a collection of ancient petroglyphs that are believed to have been made by indigenous people around 10,000 years ago. Some of the petroglyphs depict animals, geometric shapes, and human figures, while others are more abstract in nature. Visitors to the site can take a self-guided tour along a marked trail that winds through the desert landscape, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

In addition to the petroglyphs, Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Site is also known for its excellent hiking and camping opportunities. The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mule deer, and coyotes, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers. Visitors can explore nearby trails that lead to towering rock formations and hidden canyons, or set up camp at one of the designated sites and spend the night under the stars. With its rich history, stunning scenery, and abundant wildlife, Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Site is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling through Nevada.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
