We began our late-September trip to Petroglyph National Monument at the Visitor’s Center. Our small group spoke with a very friendly staff member who, after asking several questions regarding the goals of our visit, suggested we try the Boca Negra Canyon Trails. The Boca Negra Canyon Trails are three relatively short trails (5, 15 and 30 ...

The petrogylphs were fun to try and find.The petroglyphs were neat, but comming back to our car being broken into was not. It occurs often they say. Be carefull. Don't leave anything in the vehicle or have out of state licence plates.

I believe that is the approximate guesstimate as to how many "rock carvings" are located within this new National Monument, west of the Rio Grande River.

Petroglyphs is a fantastic place...You will want to have good, sturdy shoes as you climb a hill on a narrow, sometimes slippery pathway.

The volunteer at the Visitors Center was very helpful, knowledgable, and friendly.

The restroom in the Visitors Center was spotless!

I suggest that you wear hiking boots or jogging shoes when visiting the walking trails. Be prepared to do some walking on hilly terrain.

The trails and grounds were well maintained and kept free of litter. The grounds keepers and Visitor Center staff deserve an atta-boy!

the petroglyph were great but some kids also added there marks on the rocks,that spoiled the experience, they need better security there!not sure if we'll go back!

My family and I really enjoyed our hike around the site exploring all the petroglyps. We had a reasonably easy time hiking up the mesa with a 6 and 8 year old in tow. The drawings were quite amazing. The price was right too (free)!

This is a very nice place to enjoy a nice walk on a beautiful day. The Petroglyphs are amazing to see and to think how they survived over many many years.

One of the most wonderous places we've ever been. The experience of finding the petroglyphs yourself was part of the ambience. Recommend you take water and drink it if you're not used to walking much as the pathway was sand.
