Red Aztec sandstone, 2,000-year-old petroglyphs, and short desert trails shape this 40,000-acre Nevada park.

Description
Carved by wind and rain erosion, the terrain pairs red sandstone with gray and tan limestone, hiding natural arches and petrified wood across the basin. Marked paths like Rainbow Vista and Mouse's Tank trace routes through the rock, while scenic drives offer frequent sightings of bighorn sheep wandering close by. An on-site visitor center provides background on the landscape's natural history alongside park details.
