Combined Our Efforts

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city by taking a self-guided quarter-mile nature trail that features over 1,500 recorded petroglyphs on nearly 600 boulders, native desert plants, and animals in their natural habitat at the Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve. The preserve also has historical research data and displays of ongoing Southwest archaeology research by ASU faculty and students. The museum, gallery, trail, and free audio tour are available for the petroglyph trail. The university has been operating, protecting, and preserving the site since 1994, and there are plenty of opportunities to explore and learn more about the area and indigenous cultures through guided tours, publications, and ongoing lecture series.

Experience parts of our past through the eyes of the men and women who take the oath to protect it at Phoenix Police Museum. There, you'll be able to view a fascinating collection of artifacts and historical items from the department's formation in 1881 up to present-day memorabilia. Among the highlights is a recreated 1900s police station and a 1919 Ford Model T Police Car.
