Sloan Ranger

17 Nov Sloan Ranger

The Sloan Ranger, a petroglyph which seems to be a Native American’s rock-hewn portrait of a new arrival to Nevada, is found in the 48,438-acre Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area south of Las Vegas. The site is made up of some 500 rock art panels with approximately 1,700 individual images. During a hike into the canyon the visitor may spot rock art spanning perhaps a 2000 year period. Hike deeper into the canyon and the rock art becomes more modern, culminating at the end of the canyon with depictions of the cowboy and his mount.

On the reverse side of the petroglyph panel with the mounted Sloan Ranger is another image of the cowboy.
