Fortazela Indian Ruins & Petroglyphs

GPS planning file and map.

The Fortazela Ruins is a site near Gila Bend, Arizona that we haven't visited yet. The ruins are on the Gila Bend Indian Reservation but appear to be open to the general public. To get there take the US 80 Historic Highway north from Gila Bend and turn left onto the East Indian Road. After 1.2 miles turn right onto 307th. Follow that for 1 mile and turn left onto Watermelon. Proceed for another 2.1 miles and turn right just past the water treatment plant. Drive about 1 mile to the end of the road and begin hiking.

Included with this post is the GPS file and map that we plan to use for our first visit. If you don't want to wait for us to get around to it feel free to try the GPS file and map for yourself. With no guarantee, of course, but they most often prove valuable for us.
