Description: The Buckeye Hills Petroglyphs are located in the Powers Butte Wildlife Area north of Gila Bend, Arizona.
Directions: To get there, drive north from Gila Bend on Old Highway 80 for 21.2 miles and turn right to cross the canal. From there drive along the canal road for 1.7 miles, turn right, and then immediately left. Continue for another 4.3 miles and find somewhere to park around the wash. Follow the wash west for 1 mile to the petroglyphs.
If you enter the GPS coordinates for the trailhead into your driving app it will send you a slightly different route but it is one that seems to work.
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.
