À quoi s'attendre

Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site
We will meet at the location off River Rd. and Southern Pkwy. Begin your experience by buckling into our off road side x side which has been built specifically for off-road tours. Your tour guide will take up to 7 travelers on a journey down an old dirt trail that has been used by Indian cultures and early settlers for thousands of years. Our first stop will be at the Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site. Here, you will witness first hand expressions of tradition and lore carved into stone. Religious tradition, hunting maps and stories of life are carved into these boulders that span some 8,000 years and several cultures. This is a short walk into this well preserved archeological preserve that gives you a taste of the past. Here you can try to figure out the meaning of some of these simple and sometimes detailed markings. This is a good place to photograph ancient art.

Glitter Mountain
After leaving the Little Black Mountain Petroglyph Site, we will travel deeper into the back country. Over the years, there have been many travelers here. Even today, much of this land is used to graze livestock. You will see evidence of mining in the nearby hills. This land is rich in minerals including gold, silver, platinum and more commonly, gypsum. Gypsum is mined in parts of Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. At Glitter Mountain, an open gypsum mine is available to the public. Pieces of gypsum scattered across the mounds of dirt "glitters" in the sunlight, hence "Glitter Mountain". Here you can find your own special piece of glitter and keep it as a souvenir.

Site de pétroglyphes de Little Black Mountain
Nous nous rencontrerons à l'emplacement de River Rd. et Southern Pkwy. Commencez votre expérience en vous attachant à notre côte à côte hors route qui a été spécialement conçue pour les circuits hors route. Votre guide emmènera jusqu'à 7 voyageurs dans un voyage sur un ancien chemin de terre utilisé par les cultures indiennes et les premiers colons depuis des milliers d'années. Notre premier arrêt sera au site de pétroglyphes de Little Black Mountain. Ici, vous serez témoin d'expressions de première main de la tradition et des traditions gravées dans la pierre. La tradition religieuse, les cartes de chasse et les histoires de vie sont gravées dans ces rochers qui couvrent quelque 8 000 ans et plusieurs cultures. Il s'agit d'une courte promenade dans cette réserve archéologique bien préservée qui vous donne un avant-goût du passé. Ici, vous pouvez essayer de comprendre la signification de certains de ces marquages ​​simples et parfois détaillés. C'est un bon endroit pour photographier l'art ancien.

Montagne scintillante
Après avoir quitté le site de pétroglyphes de Little Black Mountain, nous voyagerons plus profondément dans l'arrière-pays. Au fil des ans, il y a eu de nombreux voyageurs ici. Aujourd'hui encore, une grande partie de ces terres est utilisée pour faire paître le bétail. Vous verrez des preuves d'exploitation minière dans les collines voisines. Cette terre est riche en minéraux dont l'or, l'argent, le platine et plus communément le gypse. Le gypse est extrait dans certaines parties de l'Utah, de l'Arizona, du Nevada et de la Californie. À Glitter Mountain, une mine de gypse à ciel ouvert est accessible au public. Des morceaux de gypse éparpillés sur les monticules de terre "scintillent" au soleil, d'où "Glitter Mountain". Ici, vous pouvez trouver votre propre morceau de paillettes spécial et le garder en souvenir.

This was one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. We were a group of 7. We had so much fun learning about the history of the area and the petroglyphs. My kids loved searching for rocks at glitter mountain. Our guide was friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!!!

This tour is perfect for “older “ adults and families with young kids, in my opinion. I was looking for a tour that wouldn’t be so hardcore or extreme. Mike, the guide and driver, was a lot of fun and I would bet he adapts to all different kinds of personalities. Mike seems to be very knowledgeable and very interested in the petroglyphs. The adventure was definitely worth the cost. My husband and I had the tour all to ourselves! Being from Michigan, the desert and mountainous climates were so different for us and it was nice experiencing the scenery close up.

Fun adventure in the desert! Seeing Petroglyphs, Glittering Rocks, and a cave made for a one of a kind adventure! Mike was a friendly and knowledgeable guide.
