Petroglyph National Monument - On Albuquerque's west side, you will find the Petroglyph National Monument. More than 17,000 ancient Indian petroglyphs are carved into the black rock remnants of five extinct volcanos. This one site contains the world's largest accessible collection of petroglyphs. Images were carved by the ancestors of today's Pueblo People and other Native Americans as well as early Spanish settlers; most were created 1300 to 1650. These images reflect a life richly steeped in religion and ceremony, in nature as connected to the land and in mythology and healing. Dancers, priests, shamans, mythic creatures, clan symbols and a variety of animals and geometric designs all portray a way of life before the written record. A variety of trails accommodate a range of visitors.
