Mouse's Tank — Attraction in Moapa Valley

This is a short but very rewarding little hike. The trail has a lot of fine sand so it is best to bring some hiking boots. We encountered quite a few bighorn sheep along the trail which made for some great pictures. I found it best to walk slowly along the trail to capture as many petroglyphs as possible.

The only negative part of the walk is seeing how people have disrespected and defaced such a beautiful part of our history as humans.

Preserve and respect this...
