One of the largest petroglyph sites in the Verde Valley, the site is a classic example of the Beaver Creek rock art style. The site has several very well preserved petroglyph panels.

The site was opened to the public in 1994.


Getting There:
The site is located 2.8 mi. from the Sedona interchange (Exit 298) on Interstate 17. Go east on Forest Road 618. Drive approximately 2.8 miles on this paved road until you pass the Forest Service Camp Ground and cross the bridge over Beaver Creek. The entrance to V-Bar-V Ranch is immediately to your right after you cross the bridge. The parking area is a short distance down the entrance road. Forest Road 618 is narrow, especially when crossing Red Tank Draw and Beaver Creek; please drive carefully.
