Arizona: Sedona's Petroglyphs

Featuring: Red Tank Draw, Petroglyphs, Montezuma's Well and pictures of Sedona, Arizona and Shoshone-Yokut warrior artist, Black Eagle - http://www.WarriorArt.com.

From my visit on July 6, 2009. Ancient Sinagua and or Anasazi Indians used this area to travel from the higher mountainous regions (today's Flagstaff area) to the more open and fertile Verde Valley. These ancient travelers left interesting petroglyph images along the cliff walls in various locations.

Montezuma's Well is a sinkhole, a collapsed underground limestone cavern filled with water. More than a million gallons of water a day flow continuously, providing a lush, verdant oasis in the midst of surrounding desert grassland.

Montezuma's Well is 368 feet across and 55 feet deep; it sits at an elevation of 3,618 feet. Native peoples started living in the region about 2000 years ago. The last known native peoples to inhabit the Montezuma Well area were the Western Apache. Two small caves at the well show signs of Apache occupation, sometime after 1800.

To get to Red Tank Draw, take 17 North to Hwy 618. Go right (east) on 618 Creek is on left can see it when you cross over the third bridge just before Southwestern Academy sign. To see the petroglyphs, continue crossing over the creek, and take the first right. The dirt road runs into the parking lot. Park there, and follow the wide path to the right all the way to the petroglyphs. There are other trails to follow. Stay on the wide path!
