About this activity

Petroglyph National Monument protects a variety of cultural and natural resources including volcanos, archeological sites and an estimated 20,000 carved images. Many of the images are recognizable as animals, people, brands and crosses; others are more complex. These images are inseparable from the cultural landscape, the spirits of the people who created, and who appreciate them.

Petroglyph National Monument is still a young unit of the system of National Parks, and is cooperatively run by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque, Open Space Division. As such we are moderately limited on accessible features. On the other hand, each plan that is started and implemented by the National Park Service takes into account accessibility.
