Sears Point Petroglyphs

The Sears Point Petroglyph Site is located about 40 miles beyond Gila Bend. A long drive from Scottsdale but well worth it especially if you want to see a tremendous amount of rock art in just one place. This panorama shows just one of multiple panels. Very exciting…to me anyway!

Ancient History

If you haven’t been to Spur Cross Ranch in Cave Creek, be sure to check out their hike schedule for the next hike to see these petroglyphs. The history of the area (our whole area!) is fascinating. Can’t get enough of it 🙂
