Renegade Canyon, also known as Little Petroglyph Canyon, is located in the Coso Range situated on the China Lake Navel Base and is about 30 miles north of Ridgecrest, California.
With over 6000 images pecked and abraded into the basalt rocks, the Coso Range contains the highest concentration of petroglyphs in North America.
Petroglyph dating using the latest technology has provided dates as old as 16,000 years and as recent as the 1800's, indicating this area has been used continuously by native peoples over a very long period of time.
Renegade Canyon is a rock and sand bottom wash approximately 1.3 miles in length, up to 200 feet in width with canyon walls 10 to 50 feet in height. Concentrated panels and isolated petroglyphs of animals, abstracts and ornate anthropomorphs occur all along the length of the canyon.
