The Tyson Wash Petroglyphs are about 3.5 miles south of Quartzite, Arizona. Among things found at the site are petroglyphs and grinding mortars. To get there from Quartzite, drive south on US-95 for 8 tenths of a mile and turn right. Stay to the left and turn left as you turn south onto the Old Yuma Road. In another 3.4 miles turn right along French Creek where Tyson Wash will be another half mile. Explore both sides of the wash for petroglyphs and anything else of interest. There are other places to turn off of US-95 that lead to the same place if you think they look better once you get there.
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.
