This was a side trip on our way back home from Tombstone, and it was WELL worth it! The petroglyphs are amazing, and beautiful. There’s bathrooms, and a $2 admission. Stay on the path, DONT touch the rocks, and for gods sake, don’t climb them or sit on them for photos! Do you want to get bit by a rattlesnake?

We were lucky. There was a museum and we learned a lot. The Indians first encountered by whites. In the 1850's stock abandoned by emigrants. Early farming in the Gila: Gila is now is now a major agricultural. On September 30,1877, the first locomotive steamed into the Arizona. Gailsen Purchase:The spoils of the victory over Mexicans in 1848. I really liked that museum. Mormon batalion reached California.gold was discovered. Even back then most folks were hurying and chose the risks. There were Rodeos and stagecoaches. There were many vases. In the museum there were many pictures. Oatman Tragedy:Two years were sold to the Mohave and Mary Ann died. At one time there was a drought. Tha Papago were farmers In this city there are petroglyphs. P.S. The visitor Center helped us a lot and he was friendly.
