White River Narrows

White River Narrows, located in lower White River Valley, is a winding canyon dating back to the Pleistocene period. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a federal government agency, oversees and preserves the rich history and innate beauty of White River Narrows. It is home to one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric rock art in eastern Nevada. The area hosts numerous rock art sites that collectively make up a district of approximately 4,000 acres listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The magnificent location offers a sneak peek into the galleries of ancient art, even though the exact meaning of the art is unknown. The art represents Native American people's cultural lives, which makes the Narrows a significant place in history. The petroglyphs at the Narrows are rich in the culture of the Native Americans who lived by hunting animals and gathering wild plants from over 4,000 years ago through to the 19th century. They are valuable to the Native Americans living there currently and American history. 

Located in the lower White River Valley, north of Hiko, Nevada between Crystal Springs and Ely along Nevada Highway 318, the prehistoric site is a well-preserved tourist attraction and archaeological resource featuring art carved into soft sandstone and volcanic tuff in the cliffs. The region is inhabited by Native American people who appreciate and preserve the culture of their ancestors. The nearest large city, Las Vegas, is 170 miles to the southwest.
