Logandale, NV - Friday March 1

Logandale, NV

Logandale is the Mecca for off-road travel in Southern Nevada. Known for its beautiful rock formations and sandy trails it makes for perfect ATV riding. The Logandale trail system contains over 200 miles of trails with all kinds of terrain. It has something for everyone, from novice to expert and everyone in-between.

I love Logandale for its rich history dating back at least 1200 years. The Anasazi Native Americans left some interesting and beautiful petroglyphs.






If you look around the area where the petroglyphs are you will find little huts under the rock structures where it appears the Native Americans lived.

You will also find a dam in a canyon area which held water in and made the area moist and fertile. The dam was build by the Mormon settlers in the late 1800s. The dam made it possible to grow crops in the otherwise non fertile sand. The crops and water must have also attracted wild game in the area which made for easy hunting. 

We know there is wild game in the area because of the animals depicted in the petroglyphs.

We also know there is wild game in the area because of this..
