Such a great place! Can't wait to go back so much to see you couldn't get it all in this time for sure!
Very cool! So worth a stop! Dont even think about it, you won't be sorry in the slightest!
I can't believe we've lived here this long and never made it here. It's an easy walk. The museum is small but worth checking out.
It was cool to learn more about the people's who used to live in this area. $14 was a little steep for what was there, but it was fun to visit.
This is an excellent small museum with very interesting trails, featuring petroglyphs from hundreds to thousands of years ago made by the original Arizonan tribes. The information about this site is very well presented in both the museum and on the trails. This was a very quiet place on a Thursday morning; there were maybe five other people here when we visited. This is a HIGHLY recommended stop if you're in Phoenix and into archaeology. Also, I saw my first chuckwalla and it was really cool.

Step back in time to explore ancient rock art and Arizona's rich cultural heritage.
