Considered to be one of the most important sites of North American archaeology, the story of Nevada’s first residents and how they used the spectacular, still sacred Lovelock Cave is one incredible read. Nestled in northwestern Nevada’s high desert about 20 minutes southwest of Lovelock, along Nevada’s Cowboy Corridor road trip, this ancient cave was first used by the Northern Paiutes thousands of years ago.

When they, and other tribes who lived in and around Nevada’s Great Basin, moved locations as seasons and conditions changed, Lovelock Cave (and others like it) was used for shelter and storage of clothing and raw materials and supplies, among other purposes.

All of these rock shelters are special, but Lovelock Cave is significant thanks to the thousands of American Indian artifacts uncovered here, including the Tule Duck Decoy, something so sacred it’s now Nevada’s official state artifact.

While artifacts rediscovered here were surveyed, collected, and put on display at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, explore Lovelock Cave by jumping on the well-maintained Lovelock Cave Backcountry Byway for unblemished examples of landscapes used and enjoyed by the Northern Paiute, Lovelock ranchers, and tons of incredible wildlife viewing.

Long before early explorers and emigrants followed the California Trail through the area, the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad and Lovelock was formed, and Interstate 80 was established, this northwestern Nevada valley—the Humdboldt Sink— was once an incredibly lush oasis, filled with an ancient lake system and surrounding marshes.

Over time, water levels receded and wave action created a variety of caves, including Lovelock Cave. During this period of time (around 2,580 B.C.), the Northern Paiute used Lovelock Cave to store thousands of items over thousands of years, ranging from hunting tools, clothing, and sagebrush sandals to basketry, beads and ornaments, animal hides, rocks and minerals, and other items that they would trade between regions.
