Blythe Intaglios — Attraction in California

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...

It is a place that connects my wife with her historical culture in that she is from Guadalajara, Mexico, and her family is a mix of Native American, Spanards, and French as most "Mexican" Heritage are. I myself have a very small percentage of Native American as well, but even if you have none, this place is a connection to the people that were here thousands of years ago! I felt a connection to history and wondered what those who built these fantastic art works were thinking when they did so. Did they think it would still be there? Sadly, some have been damaged by offroad vehicles before fencing could be installed. But even today they...

I give this 5 stars but only...IF YOU HAVE A DRONE. They are located 15 miles north of Blythe CA and are easy to find. It is pretty country out there and is somewhat desolate. When I went there, there was not a soul around which is great. When I walked up to them, I was very disappointed as you can barely make out the figures from the ground. However, when I launched my drone and got it up in the air, the view was spectacular. I flew around and took a lot of pictures and video. It is the most fun I've ever had with my drone and is the best place to fly a drone I've ever seen. If you don't have a drone, these geoglyphs are worth seeing, but not nearly as...
