Petroglyphs Hike

This hike is so fun and easy for kids.  It's about 2 miles from Dutchman's gas station headed towards Kayenta.  You drive pass the road that turns to the automotive building and its the very next left. There is no street name and is paved for a couple of feet then turns into a dirt road. Stay to the right and you will come to a parking area.  Start there and stay to the right as it forks off.  There will be a small hill and it comes out to an amazing view of the Santa Clara River Valley. Stay to the right of the trail and from there keep a look out for petroglyphs. If you have kids I would turn around once you get to the end of the big rocks.  Head back the same way you came.  The trail goes on for a couple miles but you would want to park a car at the other end if you want to do the whole thing. This little section is about .5 miles and a lot more enjoyable with kids.
