Hiking Around Las Vegas, Gold Butte National Monument
 At end of old road, stay left onto "return" route (view SW) |
Overview The Falling Man Rock Art Site is a fascinating petroglyph gallery that has seen many visitors over the years. Sometimes, however, hikers want to skip the Falling Man petroglyph panel and hurry into the lands beyond. For them, this bypass is a shortcut that bypasses the Falling Man site and the Amphitheater site, and then returns to the "regular" route just above the Tinajas. This is the reverse of the "return loop" on the regular route. Link to hiking map. |
