In this report is an overview of 20 years of survey work in the Park documenting the long history of Native American occupation at Red Rock Canyon, as well as numerous historic resources reflecting the last 150 years of use, including extensive mining, old rail and stage lines and as the background setting of dozens of Hollywood movies on the Old West.
