The Logandale Trails System in southern Nevada has over 200 miles of trails. This stunning area reminds me of the Valley of Fire with its dramatic sandstone and dunes. Though many come to ride the trails, there is also a short hike to the Indian Pictograph Park within the folds of sandstone. I am not sure who named the area, but it is not pictographs, but petroglyphs!

The hike and rock art site are quite interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed the site, but be aware access is a bit challenging. To reach the trailhead, requires about 4-miles of sandy and rough road. We visited in the winter when the sand was firmer and had no problems with sinking in or traction, but the roughness of the trail made for slow-going. It took us about 35-40 minutes to negotiate the 4 miles from the staging area to the trailhead. That being said, the views were spectacular, and we stopped along the trail on the way out to play on one of the big dunes. It is a lot of fun if you are not in a big hurry on the road. Plan on at least a half day to visit from Logandale with the drive.
