Painted Rock Petroglyphs

This is a really nice place to rest for $8 a night. It is BLM, and camping fees go toward upkeep. No hookups, but nice clean pit toilets. The camp hosts do a great job. Must register via Recreation.gov; they accept no cash. Per hosts, if you have T-Mobile like me, there is no signal. When you exit I8 register with site pending, when you arrive, pick a site, and when you have signal, pay and done.

Special thanks to Glenn of the Cactus Atlas for his YouTube video of this site.

The petroglyphs are believed to be from the Oldham peoples. My pictures don’t do them justice.

Heading west, outside Tucson on the way to Ajo I had to stop for construction and got this picture of Kitt Peak National Observatory.

More from our ancient ancestors. You can go right to it but without a drone you can’t really get a picture except for this one on a small hill.
