Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve

Escape the city on a self-guided quarter-mile nature trail featuring petroglyphs, native desert plants, and animals in their natural habitat. The preserve features historical research data completed by Dr. J. Simon Bruder and displays of ongoing Southwest archaeology research by ASU faculty and students. The museum, gallery, and trail are self-guided, and we now offer a free audio tour of the petroglyph trail. The university has operated, protected and preserved the site since 1994. Opportunities to explore and learn more about the site and indigenous cultures are available through guided tours, publications, and on-going lecture series. We look forward to your visit!
