Deer Valley Rock Art Center

3711 Deer Valley Road, Glendale, 85308, AZ

The sheer numbers and accessibility of the ancient petroglyphs — more than 1,500 — at this 47-acre, outdoor preserve are impressive. Forget about cave crawling or difficult hikes, an easy quarter-mile trail shows you the spirals, deer, hunter and other figures. At the visitor center, find out more about what the petroglyphs mean. At selected times, rangers offer storybook tales for young kids as well as talks and guided hikes for older children and families.
