Add Review/Comment

Land of Fire, House of the Sun features a stunning array of rock art photographs from the Coso Mountains in California. The thousands of petroglyphs found in the Coso Mountains indicate that the area has been important to native peoples for centuries. The exhibit showcases two winners of the American Rock Art Research Association's Oliver Award for Excellence in Rock Art Photography. Artist Alain Briot received the award in 1998 for a photo-essay that captures the essence of rock art in the Land of Fire. And Artist Rick Bury received the award in 1996 for a photo-essay that depicts the relationship between seasonal changes and Chumash rock art.

    This is a funfilled hour long storytime. The children love hearing a story, doing a craft, walking outside to see of the wonders of the desert, especially the animals.

    The museum and nature preserve are a great quiet place to sit and think and get away from the hustle and bustle of Phoenix and Glendale. The petroglyphs are best viewed in the morning before 11:00 am or in the afternoon after 3:00 pm. The museum offers informative displays. The nature trail is wide and well graded. Bring the kids to show them wildlife. Squirrels and rabbits abound and provide ample food for the owls and raptors on the property. The occasional javelina is seen in the early morning. Their website is both interesting and informative. Collapse
