Overview

The Mt. Irish Archeological District is a large area with many boulder piles and low bands of cliffs covered with petroglyphs. Paiute Rock is one of the major public petroglyph sites in the district and consists of one, isolated boulder pile. Native peoples etched an extensive array of nice petroglyphs into the rocks. The BLM placed nine numbered markers around the site, and the BLM and Lincoln County each produced brochures describing the numbered petroglyph panels.

Presented here are details of Site 3, which includes both sides of the northeast corner of Paiute Rock. On the east-facing side of the corner, there are lots of curious stories, and on the shady, north-facing side of the corner, there is a petroglyph that looks like a giant scorpion.

While visiting this site, please take care of the area and leave it as you found it for the enjoyment of future generations.
