Painted Rock Petroglyph Site (formerly Painted Rock State Park) - Arizona

Painted Rock Petroglyph Site is ancient archaeological site containing hundreds of symbolic and artistic rock etchings, or "petroglyphs," produced centuries ago by prehistoric peoples. The site is located in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona.

Artist's rendition of what the site looked like in pre-historic times.
