Albuquerque, NM: Petroglyphs National Monument



We saw some live critters, too.

These crosses were left in Rinconada Canyon by early Spanish settlers and sheepherders. Most of the other petroglyphs were left by Native Americans 300-500 years ago.

A couple more petroglyphs and one Galen. These photos were taken on a 2.5 mile hike into a canyon. If you get shaky when you haven't eaten in a while like I do, make sure you eat before you hike to the end of the canyon so you don't wonder if you'll be able to hike back out. An energy bar and Propel helped and I made it just fine.

What a fascinating place this is if you like petroglyphs! I took 146 photos today.

We met the nice couple who owns this unique RV. They are on their way to Alaska in it, their first trip there. Their other home is an underground home in Florida.
