For anyone with info I could use some help answering this question.
Also, I am trying to find a petroglyph site... near Casa Grande. One of the clients who is very interested in seeing petroglyphs is in a wheelchair but can use a walker to go short distances .25 of a mile at most. Are there any sites within an hour of Casa Grande that would be accessible?
The best I could think of was to call and inquire at Painted Rocks Petroglyph Site. Not sure if that was a good answer...

There are a bunch right near the road. Thought it would be too much of a scramble plus a hit and miss on locating. I'll share the idea, who knows!

I like that suggestion. Although Painted Rocks may be a bit far from Casa Grande, they're the best ones I can think of that would be that accessible. It's worth a visit for anybody who likes petroglyphs.

Waterfall Trail in the White Tanks is a bit more than an hour, but Wheelchair Accessible all the way to the glyphs.

I would recommend the Picacho Mt. site but you need a Arizona State Land Permit. A very large panel (consists of numerous petroglyphs on boulders) is located adjacent to North Star Road which is quite sandy.

Painted Rocks is definitely wheelchair friendly. Not so sure about Picacho Petroglyphs.
