The Wenima Wildlife Area Petroglyphs are north of Springerville, Arizona. To get there, drive north from Springerville on US-60 and just out of town go right onto US 180/191. In 1,600 feet turn right onto the Hooper Ranch Road which is signed for the Wildlife Area. Continue for about 1.5 miles to where the road drops down to the Little Colorado River. There is a parking area and restroom on the right. From here the petroglyphs are just over a mile and a quarter downstream via the Powerhouse trail. We aren’t sure which side of the river that trail is on but what we marked on the map is the road just across the bridge that leads to the Powerhouse. Once there it might be easier to know if that is the correct route or whether there is a more obvious one.
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.
