Do we know what those carefully crafted rock markings mean? What are they intended to convey? Spend Veterans Day holiday hiking and learning the answers with the Desert Botanical Garden. Experience a magical place known as Hieroglyphic Springs, the most concentrated array of petroglyphs known to exist in the Superstition Mountains. This guided hike up the bajada (of course you will learn what bajada means) of the Superstitions will feature expert interpretation of the plants, animals and relationships that humans have shared with nature for centuries. This moderate, four-mile hike will be led by naturalist Eric Garton, of the Garden's education staff, and knowledgable volunteers. Handouts, healthy snacks and bottled water are provided. You will even get a chance to taste some native foods. Limit 15.
