The summer solstice marker at Puerco Pueblo in Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona is a small spiral petroglyph on a boulder. For about two weeks around June 21, sunlight hits the spiral around 9 AM local time, creating a "sun dagger" that touches the center of the spiral. The marker is located on the main park road, about halfway between the north and south entrances, and is accessible via a short paved trail. There's also a wayside exhibit near the petroglyph.

Earth Notes: Solstice Marker, Petrified Forest - KNAU
Jun 20, 2018 — Cultures all over the world have marked the passage of the seasons in many ways. In the Southwest, the solstices and equinoxes have often been tracked by watching the sun on the horizon, on particular landmarks, or on the faces of rock. At Petrified Forest National Park, one petroglyph on a boulder is a convincing calendar of the summer solstice. At Puerco Pueblo, midway between the park's north and south entrance, there's a small, lightish spiral pecked onto a polished sandstone slab. For about two weeks around June 21, a beam of sunlight slants across the face of the stone, strikes the spiral, and pierces dead center around 9 a.m.

This happens each morning for about a two-week period around the summer solstice. Close by is Newspaper Rock State Historic Monument, a rock face with over 650 petroglyphs.
