Exploring and Camping Sears Point Petroglyphs | Vanlife Adventure in Arizona

Join me, Dennis Alan, and my trusty dog Eddie Murphy on our latest vanlife adventure! In this video, we venture out to the remote Sears Point Petroglyphs in Dateland, Arizona. We camp out alone in the beautiful desert landscape and explore the amazing petroglyphs that were left behind by ancient peoples. The off-road journey in our Honda Odyssey minivan campervan was quite the adventure too! Come along and join us for an unforgettable experience.

Sears Point is a remote area in Dateland, Arizona that is home to a collection of ancient petroglyphs. These petroglyphs were created by the Hohokam people, who inhabited the area from approximately 200 to 1450 AD. The Hohokam were a pre-Columbian civilization that was known for their advanced agricultural practices and sophisticated engineering skills.

The petroglyphs at Sears Point are believed to have been created during the Hohokam Classic period (1150-1400 AD). They depict a variety of images, including animals, humans, and geometric shapes. Many of the petroglyphs have religious or spiritual significance, and they provide a glimpse into the beliefs and practices of the ancient Hohokam people.

Today, Sears Point is a protected archaeological site that is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Visitors can hike to the petroglyphs and explore the surrounding desert landscape, but it is important to respect the site and avoid damaging or disturbing the ancient artifacts.
