About this event
Sutherland Wash Petroglyphs Loop from the Catalina State Park north gate. Rating: C***. Pace: Moderate [431, 08:00 AM, $4]. This hike begins at Lower Corral. It takes us on a grand circle tour of four concentrations of ancient petroglyphs located west of Baby Jesus Ridge near the Sutherland Wash. The Sutherland Wash Rock Art District is a special place right in our backyard and is on the National Historic Register. Hohokam petroglyphs dating from 900 AD to 1300 AD number in the thousands on the western slope of the Santa Catalina Mountains. Along our hike we will see beautiful saguaros, seasonal wildflowers, and beautiful vistas of Pusch Ridge. ***The hike involves a few short, steep, rocky sections of trail, some rock scrambling, and possible sections of mild bushwhacking. There are also crossings of Sutherland Wash which may involve some easy rock-hopping depending on the season. Bring a lunch or snack to enjoy while we rest in the shade of some giant boulders at one of the petroglyph locations. Hike 5.7 miles; trailhead elevation 3240 feet; net elevation change 235 feet; accumulated gain 759 feet; RTD 12 miles (dirt).
A medium to high clearance vehicle is required for driving on the Forest Service road beyond N. Equestrian Trail.
