Hickison Petroglyphs
ancient rock art at a quiet free pullout
Hickison Petroglyphs is one of the places Roamward flags on the The Loneliest Road (US-50) because it gives the drive its texture: ancient rock art at a quiet free pullout. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.
How it fits the drive
