Pearce Ghost Town, & Searching for Petroglyphs in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

Apr 16, 2021

The ghost town of Pearce is located on the eastern side of the Dragoon Mountains, just south of Sunsites, AZ, and the popular climbing area of Cochise Stronghold. I accessed it by Middlemarch Road, which is a dirt road that passes over the Dragoon Mountains. We also visit a remote location in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, in search of some petroglyphs, which I'm guessing were made by the Hohokam or O'Odam People, though I could be way off base on that, so please don't take my word for it. If you have any information to share on these petroglyphs, please let me know in the comments, so I can update this information here. The website for Organ Pipe National Monument has plenty of information on the history of the area if you wish to learn more.
