Petroglyph National Monument







With a bad case of cabin fever, we ventured out to Petroglyph National Monument to hit some dog-friendly trails. We did a 3-mile loop around the west mesa, a landscape of desert and volcanic rock. It is considered an archaeological site because of the 25,000 images carved into the rocks by Pueblo Indians and Spanish settlers between 1300- 1680's. I loved searching for the rock carvings - Erik (and the dogs) loved searching for lizards in the brush and cacti.
