Review:
El Morro National Monument is one of New Mexico's unique indigenous archaeological sites, preserving a former Ancestral Puebloan and pioneer campsite and watering hole that served as a central stopping point for travelers through the American Southwest during the region's early European settler period. For several hundred years, the monument was carved with more than 2,000 signatures and petroglyphs, including dates and messages marking pioneer travels through the region. Today, the site has been preserved as a national monument, showcased along an Inscription Trail which offers self-guided tours to the petroglyph site. Ancestral Puebloan ruins atop a cuesta at Atsinna can also be explored via the two-mile Headland Trail.
