A few months ago, I did one of my crazy internet searches to the nth degree. Wham Bam, I found something really cool. This internet site had a story and pictures of a site in AZ. This is what I read,

Years ago, roaming a remote section of desert, far from any trails and heavily protected by Crucifixion Thorn trees and catclaw, I stumbled upon a series of cliff faces covered in petroglyphs. After contacting U of A and the Tonto National Forest, it was determined that the rock art on these walls was mostly Archaic in style and execution, particularly the deep-cut ones; that would make them at least 2,000 and possibly as much as 6-8,000 years old!

A few months ago I went out looking for this site. At the end of the day, I found one panel that was shown on the internet site. I went out again this week and found many panels. My photoset has some of the highlights of my trip. This site is on Cherry Creek Road.
