How To Visit V-Bar-V Rock Art Site: V-Bar-V Heritage Site is located 2.8 miles east of the junction of I-17 and SR179 (FR 618). Watch for the entrance on your right less than one-half mile past the Beaver Creek Campground.
Hours are currently 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (entrance gate closes at 3:30 p.m.), Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (closed Thanksgiving and Christmas).
Guided tours are provided by both the Verde Valley Archaeological Society and Friends of the Forest during these hours (petroglyph area is fenced and only accessible during regular visiting hours).
Before visiting the site, please read the Forest Service Guide on Archaeological Site Etiquette to help you better enjoy your visit without causing inadvertent damage to the site (written for the Palatki/Honanki ruins, but equally applicable here).
From the V-Bar-V Ranch parking area: After parking your car, take the maintained trail from the visitor's center and parking area approximately half-a-mile across a flat field to the petroglyph area. Restroom facilities are available at the visitor's center, and a new vault-type toilet is available near the rock-art site. Please stay away from the ranch buildings to the north of the parking area. Please also leave your pets at home, and don't smoke - in this dry climate, the fire danger is always high. Public water is NOT available - bring your own, or you may purchase bottled water from the visitor's center.
Pets are not allowed at our Cultural Sites.
