Experience for yourself the mysterious carved images left by the prehistoric hunter-gatherer people who populated the canyons and plateaus of the Coso Mountains.

Be face to face with carvings from one of the largest known concentrations of petroglyphs in the western hemisphere, located on the Naval Air Weapons Station, China Lake. The museum-sponsored tours during the Spring and Fall months are undertaken with Navy-approved guides.

The Maturango Museum is located at Ridgecrest in California. The website provides full information about the tours: dates, educational programs and 'Frequently Asked Questions About Petroglyph Tours':
