15. Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve; Flagstaff, AZ (Mon)

Half Day

Relatively Easy (but remember, at 7000’)
 
Picture Canyon, at the eastern end of Flagstaff, is the type locality for the Northern Sinagua rock art style. Although you can visit the Preserve on your own, you will see more of the petroglyph panels on the field trips. The hike is about two miles, with a short, steep, rough optional extension to see some additional panels if conditions permit. For the extension, a walking stick is a must. It is about a 15-minute drive from NAU, and the hiking time will be about 2 hours.
