Log Text: 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.

Log Text: From a parking area, you'll need to walk nearly a mile (one way) over a saddleback to where the structure stands on a flat area on the slope of the mountain. The walk is on a graveled roadway, and is not difficult. However, be prepared for wind, sun, and the altitude, which can be taxing for many people.
