bat400 visited on 1st Jan 0000 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Now make your way to the 44th and Washington rail station and travel eastbound. You'll cross the Salt River over Tempe's Town Lake. Get off at the Veterans Way / College Avenue stop at Sun Devil Stadium and Hayden Butte. The rail trip itself will take about 10 minutes.
If you walk to the east end of the station platforms and face the butte, there are trail heads to your left. The majority of the petroglyphs are on the south and east side of the butte and if you decide to walk to the top, there are views of the river valley and the extensive modern development of Phoenix and Tempe. Again, you may wish to walk only a short way up the trail or all the way to the top of the butte, taking anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes at this stop on the trip.
Next go to "Lomo del Rio Ruins". http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=17351.

Hayden Butte rears up beside the Salt River, and in this modern age, is probably best known as the backdrop for the Arizona State University Sun Devil football stadium. But the Hohokam people (500-1450AD) built a small village at the base of the butte and carved petroglyphs on the rocks above them.
The area is part of the Tempe Parks Department and trails lead to the top of the butte, past the rock art.
