Petroglyph National Monument
More than 20,000 rock etchings are found inside the Petroglyph National Monument northwest of town. Stop by the visitor center to determine which of three viewing trails - in different sections of the park - best suits your schedule and hiking ability. Boca Negra, which has petroglyphs dating back 3000 years, works well if you're short on time. Note: smash-and-grab thefts have been reported at some trailhead parking lots, so don't leave valuables in your vehicle. Head west on I-40 across the Rio Grande and take exit 154 north.
