Spanning nearly 300,000 acres into the enchanting Mojave Desert, Gold Butte National Monument is a national monument located in Clark County that encompasses striking and rugged landscapes in an extremely remote section of southeastern Nevada. Situated south of Mesquite and Bunkerville, the monument and park is home to a wealth of breathtakingly beautiful and striking terrain made up of twisting canyons of dramatically chiseled red sandstone, other-worldly rock formations, and tree-clad mountains. The area is world-renowned for beautiful rock art and thousands of petroglyphs dating back over 12,000 years and traces back to the Moapa Band of Paiute Indians and the Las Vegas Paiute Tribes who inhabited the region. Visitors to the monument can also explore the Gold Butte Backcountry Byway and the mining ghost towns or tour the area’s peaks and canyons on horseback.
