NZ Silver Creek,
LLC: Petroglyphs and Pictographs |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Silver Creek area is decorated with
petroglyphs and pictographs left behind from another era.
One can see these symbols depicting life of people that
long ago scrawled on rocks and cave walls. |

This documented history has weathered
through time to give us a glimpse of what used to be:
a primitive language on a "message board", if
you will. |

Silver Creek is one of the few perennial
small rivers in Arizona with spectacular 200' cliffs.
These cliffs were inhabited by ancient Indians and still
house eagles, cougars and other wildlife (See petroglyph

a checkerboard of sections across what is now the Petrified
Forest National Park. An exchange with the Federal Government
facilitated the creation of the current park early in
