"Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve is a natural and cultural amenity located in northeast Flagstaff. In addition to significant Northern Sinagua petroglyphs and other cultural resources, an agreement with the nearby Wildcat Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant ensures a year-long water source, providing critical riparian habitat for wildlife and songbirds.
The City of Flagstaff acquired the 478-acre Preserve from the Arizona State Land Department in 2012 with funding from the 2004 voter-approved Open Space bond and a Growing Smarter Grant from Arizona State Parks. The acquisition of Picture Canyon provides a natural place for members of the Flagstaff community to learn about ecology, geology, and archaeology, while participating in outdoor recreation."

Are you enjoying your time at Picture Canyon Cultural and Natural Preserve? We like this place so much, that we decided to place a cache here. There is a new, small pill container off the Don Weaver Trail. Just 0.11 miles from Hear the Sound of Water. Remember to bring water, wear sunscreen, take only photos, and leave only footprints.
Happy caching!
Congrats to Sally Sedona for FTF!!!
