Located just outside Las Vegas, the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area spans close to 49,000 acres of picturesque desert. Features in the area include ancient, dry lake beds, towering rock peaks and the Sloan Canyon Petroglyph site, which is one of Nevada's most significant cultural areas.

The site contains more than 300 rock art panels that boast close to 2,000 unique design elements. Visitors are allowed to look at the petroglyphs, but Sloan Canyon is carefully managed to avoid damage to these ancient and significant images. Guests are asked to stay on designated trails throughout the canyon.
