Petroglyph

National Monument - New Mexico, United States

The monument is managed by the National Park Service and encompasses five volcanic escarpments on Albuquerque's West Mesa. These ancient images provide insight into the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the area's early inhabitants. The site serves as an important archaeological and cultural resource in an urban setting.
