Sight Seeing at the Petroglyph National Monument in Albuquerque

 

Petroglyph National monument in Albuquerque is a must visit place for every traveler visiting New Mexico. The national monument preserves the beautiful carvings and designs on volcanic rocks made by early Native American and Spanish settlers. They date back to 400-700 years back. They are of great cultural importance to both Native Americans and the Spanish.

The images on the rocks speak of the time when these early settlers used to reside in this area and used to communicate with each other by carving out designs on these volcanic rocks. These rocks serve as a great record for archaeologists to study about those times and draw out references from them.

Beautiful Looking Rock Formations

It is often advised to keep yourself hydrated, by drinking water and fluids on a regular basis as the desert climate might leave you dehydrated if good care is not taken. It is a general advisory that people visiting this place should protect their skin with the UV protectors, creams, sunglasses as at this height the impact of UV(Ultraviolet Radiations) is clearly felt.
