Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge - Black Canyon, NV
Does anyone know if the trail to the "Pahranagat Man" is open? It was closed last year as visitors were climbing the rocks and getting too close and touching the rock art here. It is right along the highway that cuts through the refuge. They were supposed to create a trail with barriers to protect the site while still making it accessible. I was able to get a few pictures from the road.

Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge is a beautiful place in the Nevada desert. There is a new visitor center, and there is camping right along the lake.

There were a few faint petroglyphs and pictographs on the lake side of the road which was not closed off.

We found one Pahranagat Man on the lake side of the road (which the person at the visitor center could not find, but he was only seasonal).

And with binoculars we could find the other more "famous" Pahranagat Man on the opposite side of the road in the closed area.

These two figures face each other on opposite sides of the stream valley. Supposedly there are more of these Pahranagat Men (petroglyphs and pictographs) in the valley and surrounding countryside in and around Lincoln County.
