    Tips

    March 15, 2022

    Hiking

    Look carefully at the canyon walls and rock formations as you walk along King Canyon Trail. You will see a number of petroglyphs etched into the rock surface. Most of the rock etchings found in Saguaro National Park were created by the Hohokam peoples. Do not touch the petroglyphs as oil from your skin can damage/break them down faster.
