Waterfall Canyon
Between A.D. 500 and 900, the Hohokam occupied a 75-acre village in Waterfall Canyon in the White Tank Mts. The village is gone, but boulders and cliff faces throughout the canyon remain covered with petroglyphs of every imaginable form. Although the bottom part of the canyon is easily accessible, the best displays of petroglyphs are higher up than 99 percent of hikers bother to climb.

The human at left, the pipette at bottom left and the diverse designs on the large panel directly below are all quintessentially Hohokam. |
