I want to shorten that long about 15 miles hike out and back with elevation gain 1,427 ft and drive a couple miles to T-section with Jeep Trail.
4WD high cleareance needed.
Total lenght of the hike in this case should be 11 miles plus scuttering around.
Meet for carpooling at parking near Starbucks at Wedge Pkwy 8-00 am
Because of changeable weather.. please dress appropriately and in layers.
Don't forget water, snacks, hiking poles, hiking boots.
The largest petroglyph site I have ever visited. Most of the trail is ATV road crossing small creek and then runs along creek.
The Lagomarsino Petroglyphs site is a Native American historic site in Storey County, Nevada. As one of the most interesting collections of historic artifacts, the area has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The first archaeological documentation of the site was done in 1904 when some of the petroglyph panels were photographed. A more extensive documentation was done in 1958. Please be aware that this is an important archaeological site; vandalism and graffiti threatens to obscure and damage the petroglyphs. If the petroglyphs are destroyed, and important part of Storey County and Native American history will be lost.
