These sites, far removed from modern park trails, are inaccessible to park visitors. In order to provide opportunities for visitors to digitally view and learn about these sites, the National Park Service has partnered with Northern Arizona University on a project to document 11 rock imagery sites within Walnut Canyon. For this project, archeologists have used high definition photography to document these sites.
