We often travel far to see an ancient site sometimes asking a local for a review only to find that they haven’t even heard of their local attraction. We were surprised until we realized we had done the SAME THING in our hometown. Since our revelation we are determined to explore more sites nearby In fact we had a lot of fun recently at the Signal Hill Petroglyphs located in the Saguaro National Park West just few miles away.
We took a picnic and enjoyed a few little animals and birds. Great place to enjoy a picnic lunch at the well kept covered tables.
Just to the east is an easy path leading to the petroglyphs. 
They are said to have been created by the Hohokam people. We stop to to imagine what the artist was trying to convey with these symbols.
Looking over the valley from this site I can see how it would have been chosen as a beacon for travelers.
I have to say it’s been fun discovering adventure right in our own back yard.
