Painted Rock is a few small hiking trails centered around a mound of rocks. What makes these rocks unique is the approximately 800 petroglyphs, or carved drawings, on them. They are attributed to the Hohokam people.

More information can be found at the petroglyphs.us site.

It's a long drive from anywhere, and the last half mile or so is unpaved but not difficult to drive on.

I rate this low because my expectations were high. I went at the end of September, which is still in the site's off-season, and it was pleasant to have no one around and be so isolated, but without a burning interest in ancient Native American history or petroglyphs in general, the drive wasn't worth it.

This was not a problem for me, but take note that there is no potable water on site.
