Probably the neatest thing you never knew you needed to see. If ancient rock art is your thing you'll love this site. Easy access, well maintained trail . Easy to follow and shows off views off the valley and the supes from a gorgeous angle. Photography types will enjoy this easy out and back trail provides everything the arizona desert has to show off!

This was an amazing trail not to hard it does have an incline but gradually. It’s about a mile and half. Kids of all ages were seen on this trail. Babies were being carried in the baby back pack and young children and teenagers were doing the trail . We got to see the water that day which was beautiful. Parking is limited Port o potties only

The parking situation, while awful, does limit the traffic on the trail. Law Enforcement is generally present at the parking area during busy times. You may see license plates from a dozen different states during snowbird season. The geology and remnants of ancient indigenous lives at this site are astounding.

Wow what a gorgeous hike! The sunset was so pretty!! This is an easy hike, not too long and not too short. Although it is very rocky so wear good shoes and it’s an incline. So worth it though!

What a fun hike! This was very shaded early in the day which made it a very cool temperature wise for the area! The hike was relatively easy I think most people could do it. The only spots that might give you trouble are at the very end when if you want to get closer to the carvings you’ll have to scramble up some bigger rocks. If you climb cupboards at home to reach dishes on the top shelf you’ll be fine here :) It was a beautiful hike, so many birds, bees, lizards and the vegetation was magnificent. We learned about the cacti while hiking and so many were hundreds of years old. Amazing views and amazing history!
