The Basket Site is located in Rosy Canyon northeast of Colorado City, Arizona. The site includes several large panels of petroglyphs. One of the panels includes a variety of images of woven baskets like those that Native people once used for collecting seeds and plants. Beneath an overhang there are the ruins of several rooms that include a circular kiva. On the walls and ceiling of the overhang there are some very interesting pictographs.
