Basin and Range National Monument is 704,000 acres (2,800 km2) of rugged wilderness in Southern Nevada. According to the Bureau of Land Management, it is so vast and empty that it "redefines our notions of distance and space" and "opportunities for solitude abound."

Archeological site with lots of rock art.
A canyon carved by the White River during the Pleistocene Era, home to one of the largest concentrations of prehistoric rock art in eastern Nevada. The rock art sites cover more than 4,000 acres and include two styles, one from hunter-gatherers (Basin and Range tradition) and one from Fremont groups.
There are no paved roads in the park, so a four-wheel drive vehicle with high clearance is best. Make sure you have a full tank of gas.
