An image composed of Scotty's Castle, Death Valley Scotty, and a stone covered in petroglyphs.

The petroglyph-covered rock beside Death Valley Scotty was designed by Native Americans who inhabited the valley hundreds of years ago. Transcribed across the bottom of the image: "The world's most hospitable host, Death Valley Scotty," Scotty's Castle, Death Valley, Calif."
