Mammal petroglyph along the Mesa Point Trail in Boca Negra Canyon.
Petroglyph National Monument protects one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America, featuring designs and symbols carved onto volcanic rocks by Native Americans and Spanish settlers 400 to 700 years ago. These images are a valuable record of cultural expression and hold profound spiritual significance for contemporary Native Americans and for the descendants of the early Spanish settlers.
The National Park Service releases a Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) to solicit responses from interested entities in a potential leasing opportunity at Petroglyph National Monument.
The National Park Service is excited to host Indigenous Families Weekend in honor of Native American Heritage Month at the Petroglyph National Monument Visitor Information Center (VIC), located at 6510 Western Trail, Albuquerque, NM 87120. This event is free and open to the public.
