bat400 visited on 1st Mar 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 I visited on a weekday morning in overcast conditions. In March the vegetation is not as thick as it appears to get later in the year. The trail from the trail head rapidly becomes the spring itself, and although there are places along the left hand bank heading down to the site, You are likely to get your feet wet if there has been recent rain in the area.
This is a beautiful site, with a large pool at the confluence. At this point the Agua Fria canyon is not particularly deep, but at other locations the river is cut deeply into the mesa.
The Badger Springs Wash trail can be used to access petroglyph panels at the confluence of the springs and the Agua Fria River. The trailhead has a parking area and can be reached by any passenger car from the I-17 exit. The trail is approximately 1 mile long, and mostly along the spring wash itself and is often wet with a sandy bottom. The Agua Fria River canyon is the home of petroglyphs and pueblo sites dating back as much as 2000 years. As many as 450 distinct archaeological sites have been recorded. The National Monument is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. See the
