Sloth Canyon is not the name of the is location however I called it this because in the ancient times this area was dominant with sloths. Little does everybody know that this area at one time had water, trees and life. Now all that remains is the cave, dry fauna, dunes and desert. To get to this area you have to take a hidden road which trust me you can get stuck on without the know how of driving on it. At times the walls get very narrow but it eventually opens up to a large canyon area. Not to far away is a bombing range for the US Airforce. It seems to also be an area where alot of people go to party. I noticed alot of beer bottles, spray painted rocks and even a cross in the desert. We will do a second investigation and that will be the cave itself as we are still in the middle of our research:) I just wanted to give you some history and photos of what to expect of this area. Of course it might be an entirely separate location since I was a little off on the coordinates. The area rather the cave dates back to about 8500 BC and at one time the bones of a ground sloth and camel were found. Also what was found is man made fire pits, dart shafts, basket fragments and signs that the cavern was inhibited by man. The sloths are basically much like a bear just with longer legs and a larger more slender body. I worked fairly hard at this investigation it really was only my second night hike in the desert. If you are caught back here with a vehicle it is a 100,000 dollar fine they do not want others back here. Not sure why but it is Indian land and they are trying to preserve it. Of course the cave itself is public and land. It was excavated in the 1930s by an archaeologist named Mark Harrington and paleontologist James Thurston. In 1957 the bones found here and Caltech's entire vertebrate paleontology collection were sold to the Los Angeles County Museum where they have sit today. The bones that were found were laid out in a pattern above the human artifacts. Which means that the Clovis Indian Hunters perhaps killed the animals then buried such bones. The four species of animals found in the area were camels, horses, mountain sheep's, and the ground Sloth. Some of the bones were charred others had fractures or grooves in the bones. I never did find the cave I was in the area of it and may have seen it off in the distance. I might return just to get a nice hike in maybe even a day hike out here. Alot of people visit the cave but where I went was beyond the cave in a remote area where I could get a taste of what the desert is all about. At one time this area had an ice age when that water began to thaw some lakes were formed this explains why horses were running wild at one time in this area. If anything the area at night gets an perfect 10 for creepiness. The thing about this area of Las Vegas is that out in the desert alot of bombs were tested. Rumors of aliens, strange craft and even creatures are told. I personally always keep an openmind its not an easy place to hike around at during the night very poor visibility....rough terrain....rocky roads etc. © By Lord Rick The rewards of a hard earned investigation lol Gypsum
