Review:
Stretching for 17 miles (27 km) along the volcanic basalt escarpment known as the West Mesa, Petroglyph National Monument is a protected area that is home to one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America. This rugged landscape features symbols, drawings and designs carved into the volcanic rock which are of extremely high spiritual and cultural importance.
The Monument also protects a range of natural resources including volcanic cones and hundreds of archeological sites, which document the history and culture of the people living in the region at the time. The park has some self-guided walking trails, with drinking fountains, shady seating areas and restroom facilities for visitors to the site.
