Overview

The Falling Man Rock Art Site is a fascinating petroglyph gallery that has seen many visitors over the years, and Calvin's Rock is one particular site in that area.

This rock was named in memory of Calvin Meyers who passed in 2013. Calvin was an environmental activist and former Chairman of the Moapa Band of Paiutes. His ancestors made the artwork here, and when visiting this particular site, people around Calvin noticed that he seemed to have a special connection to this boulder.
