Intriguing Parker history
Ten miles east of Parker, off of Shea Road, is an intaglio known as The Snake. Then, just an hour south, near Blythe, California, are others. Intaglios are massive geoglyphs (think petroglyphs, except produced on the earth), consisting of human and animal figures. The largest figure is over 171 feet long, and they’re dated between 450 and 2,000 years old. With an unknown origin story, you’ll have to see this place for yourself. Could it be aliens? Let your imagination run wild!
