About

Petroglyph National Monument

The Petroglyph National Monument protects one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America, and it features designs and symbols carved onto volcanic rocks made by Native Americans and Spanish settlers 400 to 700 years ago. These images are of great importance, as they are a valuable record of cultural expression and they hold profound spiritual significance for contemporary Native Americans and for the descendants of the early Spanish settlers.
Petroglyphs are rock carvings and they are made by pecking directly on the rock surface using a stone chisel and a hammerstone. It is estimated that there may be over 25,000 petroglyph images along the 17 miles of escarpment within the monument boundary.
