"Home to the largest concentration of Native American petroglyphs in Phoenix, the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve in northwest Phoenix is an archaeology museum on a 47-acre desert preserve. Little known even by locals, the preserve gives visitors a chance to be alone among petroglyphs, some of them 7,000 years old. The exhibits in the indoor museum offer a better understanding of the ancient people who lived or traveled through the area, including the Hohokam and Patayan. On the trail, beside the petroglyphs, visitors may encounter desert wildlife while enjoying the unique landscape." - MATADOR_NETWORK
