Agua Fria National Monument

Agua Fria National Monument

Agua Fria National Monument, located just north of Phoenix, Arizona, protects two broad mesas, the canyon of the Agua Fria River, and a rich cultural landscape. The monument contains hundreds of cultural sites, including stone‑masonry pueblos and petroglyph panels that reflect thousands of years of human history. It is an exceptional place to learn about and appreciate our nation’s cultural heritage within a remote and rugged desert setting.
