This petroglyph site, highlighting over 1,200 images, has been known to archeologists since 1945. Because the site was part of the V Bar V Ranch is was off limits to the general public and thus protected from vandalism. The U.S. Forest Service acquired the property in 1994 and opened the site to the public in 1996. The petroglyphs at the site are representative of the Beaver Creek style of the Southern Sinagua culture.

Just off of I-17, at Exit 298, to the east. It is a narrow dirt road that crosses several single lane bridges over various creeks. From the junction of I-17 and Arizona Highway 179, take the dirt road that leads east for 2 2/3 miles to the Beaver Creek Campground. The entrance to the petroglyph site is just past the campground. Get directions from MapQuest.
