petroglyphs--traces of the Hohokam near Tucson
Just beyond the western edge of Tucson: these Hohokam petroglyphs in Saguaro National Park. No one knows precisely when they were carved into the rocks--but Hohokam settlements in the Sonoran desert date back almost two thousand years...We went on a short hike among the saguaro to end up on this hilltop with this pre-columbian art; not your typical suburban stroll.
