Valley of Fire Petroglyph Canyon Trail - Pictographs on Waymarking.com

This trail leads to an area named for a renegade Indian who used the area as a hideout in the 1890's. Mouse's Tank is a natural basin in the rock where water collects after rainfalls, sometimes remaining for months. A half-mile round trip trail leads to Mouse's Tank from the trail head parking area, passing numerous examples of prehistoric Indian petroglyphs. Prehistoric users of the Valley of Fire included the Basket Maker people and later the Anasazi Pueblo farmers from the nearby fertile Moapa Valley.

Note: There is an entry fee of $6 per person. The trail is available during daylight hours year round. The trail is roughly 0.5 miles round trip.
