Off-road & Hike to Nampaweap Petroglyph Site, Arizona

Add to My List Check Off

There are hundreds of petroglyphs at Nampaweap. These figures were chipped into the lava rock centuries ago by the ancestors of the Native Americans who live in the area today. Once you return to CR5, reset your odometer to zero and turn right. Travel east over the Mt. Trumbull pass. After 3.3 miles look for the sign and right turn to Nampaweap on BLM1028. Turn right and travel 1.1 miles to a 4-way intersection and a sign for the Nampaweap parking area on the east side of the road. A vault toilet may be installed some time in 2021. A 2/3 mile trail down a gradually sloping old roadbed leads to a series of petroglyphs on ancient lava rock.
