Lonely Planet review for 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.
