Mount Irish Petroglyph Site is located in Nevada near Area 51. It is so close that you will see aircraft flying overhead but so remote you may not run into any humans on the rugged dirt road.
Directions: From Las Vegas take I-15 North for 22 miles. Exit on US-93 North (exit 64). Stay on this road for 85 miles to the intersection of Hwy. 318 and Hwy. 375 (Extraterrestrial Highway). Take Hwy. 318 for 2.5 miles and turn West (left) on Logan Summit Road. This road is not marked. There is no sign. The sign in the photograph is farther down the dirt road. There is nothing marking the turnoff. A fence surrounds the area. Get out of the car, open the gate, and drive through. There may not appear to be a gate but the fence can be removed. If you found the gate closed, close it behind you. This dirt road requires a four wheel drive, high clearance vehicle. The road is very rough. The petroglyphs are spread over an 8 mile area and are carved into the soft, red rock. The first ones are on your left side quite a ways down the road. After passing the petroglyphs you will come to Logan Summit and a wooden mining cabin. The road past the petroglyphs is very rough.
