Blythe Intaglios

"The intaglios' are much bigger than you think. Really fun to drive all over and look for them."

"This was a neat experience and I'm glad I stopped. In the hot months make sure you wear a hat and bring plenty of water. The shapes are a bit hard to discern from ground level, and the glyphs are best seen from the air. So if you have a drone, bring it it for pictures."

"These intaglios were super impressive to see. If you have a drone I highly recommend you use it to get the full sense of scale."

"Not a lot to see from the ground. It was very windy couldn't get any drone shots. The images are fenced in for preservation. A good thing! Satellite photos show were people have driven through them. Still a good stop. Walk out to the locations on a short path to each area."

"Pretty interesting, not very obvious from the highway, free, not a lot of information. Also super hot in the summer. I wouldn't go out there just to see them, but if you can work it into a trip (route 95 or even Interstate 10), I would say it's worth it. Even my kids kinda thought it was interesting after crying when I started up the dirt road. When GPS told us "you have reached your destination" and I turned onto the rocky dirt road, my children were utterly confused, "this is our destination?" It was hot and the dirt road wouldn't be easy in a car, but doable if you took it slow. In my stock SUV it was not a problem. It's probably only 1/2 mile up the trail to the gates (which are just double hitches in the road's guard fence). From those gates it's only a couple hundred feet to the fenced in figures. We saw three fenced off figures accessed from 2 different gates/parking areas. No one else was there in the 20-30 minutes we were there at 4 in the afternoon on a weekday in June."
