Visit the largest known concentration of petroglyphs in the western hemisphere located in
Little Petroglyph Canyon (AKA lower Renegade Canyon), on the Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake. In the canyons and plateaus of the Coso Mountains are thousands of images left by the hunter-gatherer people who populated this region in the past. The images, called petroglyphs, are carved into basalt rocks, and range in age from Paleoindian times to the present. Join archaeologist and rock art expert Dr. Alan Garfinkel Gold for a personal, educational tour of this exquisite site. Access is limited to tours with Navy-approved guides. This tour begins at 7:00 am and typically ends about 3 or 4:00 pm. Tour dates close weeks in advance. This is a Department of the Navy deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS.
