This petroglyph rock is in Valley of Fire State Park and clearly marked on the state park map.
It is call Atlatl rock because it has a depiction of an atlatl as well as another of someone throwing one. The atlatl was a very effective weapon with a throwing stick. The projectile was larger than an arrow and the arrow head was also larger. They could be very accurate and were used in hunting and in battle.
Atlatl rock is in the air. A short walk and a staircase take you to the rock.
