The mission of the Deer Valley Rock Art Center is to preserve and to provide public access to the Hedgpeth Hills petroglyph site, to interpret the cultural expressions found here, and to be a center for rock art studies.

Three points are central to this mission:

Preservation

Protecting the Hedgpeth Hills petroglyph site - and other ancient sites - is the Center's first priority. Please join in this effort.

Respect

Recognizing different interpretations of the Hedgpeth Hills petroglyph site is fundamental. There are many different explanations for this place, and many ways to appreciate it.

Connection

Continuing use of this area links our lives today to the people who have been here before.
