The Vista Medicine Wheel was constructed on our church property to honor the ancient people nearby who also built just such a Solar Site, although theirs was larger and more complex, tracking rising stars as well as solstices.

The Vista Solar Circle is 63 feet/19.2 meters in diameter thus 197.8 feet/ 60.2 meters circumference. The circular edge is made of broken limestone, 4 to 12 inch random. The bed and cairn is decomposed granite with fines, standard landscape material for southern Arizona. Center is marked by a sandstone block about 75cm tall and 25cm x 30cm.

The solstices and equinox are indicated very well. We have irregular horizons (mountains) and this is compensated for by the viewing stations. Note, this will make most sunrise "late" and most sunset "early". Our truest level view is during sunset, winter solstice. We work with what we are given! Amen.

Suggested visiting times: 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset and all daylight hours. If the office is open check in as a courtesy.

Drive to the far south area of the parking lot, walk the gravel path to the Circle.

Church policy does not allow over night tenting/camping/RV parking on church property.

    True and it is well done. The labyrinth is abut 10 years old and 44 feet diameter. Walking it requires 20 minutes for a thoughtful person.
