ASU-managed public preserve and museum protecting one of the densest concentrations of petroglyphs in the Phoenix area — roughly 1,500 images on basalt boulders along a short interpretive trail. Staffed visitor center, gift shop, and strict no-touch rules make this a legal, protected rock-art stop (not a free-roam pin).
