South Mountain Petroglyphs
At the southern end of Phoenix is the large South Mountain Park. It is a desert mountain preserve overlooking the city. Rock art abounds within the park, and it has been an on-going challenge keeping the petroglyphs safe from vandalism, particularly spray painting. In 2002, Todd Bostwick, an archeologist with the city of Phoenix and a Hohokam scholar, teamed with a professional photographer, Peter Krocek, to write a book about the site entitled Landscape of the Spirits: Hohokam Rock Art at South Mountain Park, The University of Arizona Press.
