Imagine the refreshment of finding water after days of dusty travel. A reliable waterhole hidden at the base of a sandstone bluff made El Morro (the headland) a popular campsite for hundreds of years. Here, ancestral Puebloans, Spanish, and American travelers carved over 2,000 signatures, dates, messages, and petroglyphs. Make El Morro National Monument a stopping point on your travels.
Join U.S. Camel Corps re-enactor Doug Baum, his camels, and park staff at El Morro National Monument from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15, 2024, for the Camel Corps Commemoration event.
