Rock Art

The Tonto National Monument is located about 30 miles north of Globe, AZ.  



This is what we went there to see.  The Salado people lived here 700 years ago.  (The 13th, 14th and early 15th centuries.  They were farmers who supplemented their diet by hunting and gathering.  There are two cliff dwellings on the property.  This is the smaller lower one which is located up behind the visitor center.  The larger one is 1.5 miles up another canyon. 



The rock faces in the canyon offer many chances to view fine examples of stone texture.
