V-Bar-V Heritage Site Fall Equinox Hike & Presentation
Ancient peoples of the Verde Valley were consumate
astronomers who left a treasure trove of solar calendars and other etchings in
the russet sandstone around Beaver Creek.
This Sunday, researcher and author Ken Zoll will be speaking on the
petroglyphs of V Bar V and hosting the autumnal equinox LIVE as it passes over one of the site's Sinagua sunwatchers. This is a rare opportunity to see both
earth science and archeological research in action. The hike is an easy 1 mile roundtrip.
