Description:  A little dirt road diversion and short hike near Laughlin, Nevada. Lots of Petroglyphs - probably more than you can see in one visit. Bring water, watch for snakes. Recent road maintenance or weather conditions may effect the amount of loose sand and gravel on the road (motorcycle caution). It's a 2WD road, but there are some washboarded and steeper sections towards the pass.
