The Deer Valley Rock Art Center has the largest concentration of Native American petroglyphs in the Phoenix Valley. Visitors hike a quarter-mile trail to view over 1,500 petroglyphs made between 500 and 7,000 years ago. The museum aims to promote preservation of, connection to and respect for the site, and we are a destination for families to learn about archaeology in their own backyard. The center is managed by one of the top archaeology programs in the country – at ASU's School of Human Evolution and Social Change.
