Deer Valley Rock Art Center. The mission is to preserve and to provide public access to the Hedgepeth Hills petroglyph site, to interpret the cultural expressions found there and to be a center for rock art studies.

There are 1500 ancient petroglyphs in this protected desert preserve. Many of them can be seen along a trail. Indoor exhibits and video interpret the petroglyphs. Here you will be introduced to the studies of all different kinds of rock art and the difference between petroglyphs, pictographs and geoglyphs (at this location you will find petroglyphs).

Petroglyph. This is a design that has been made by removing material from a rock's surface.
Pictograph. This is a design that has been made by applying colors to a rock surface.
Geoglyph. This is a design made on the ground surface by removing or rearranging stones or by shaping and modifying gravel-covered areas.
