Tips for exploring Petroglyph National Monument

We visited Petroglyph National Monument in New Mexico and think you should, too. There are several trails to consider at this national monument if you want to see prehistoric artwork, including rock art and petroglyphs. In this video, we'll explain the one we chose and where there is an easy trail to see petroglyphs up close.

You got to visit Piney Creek Ravine in Southern Illinois. It has the largest collection of petroglyphs in the state. There are over 150 motifs on site, and winter solstice is the best time to see them. They were actually carved in a manner that stands out the most on winter solstice

Good info to have. We will have to check that out. Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Did you notice all of the pyramids

[@Trekers]

Hmm, that we don't remember seeing... 🤔

So basically this is antique graffiti? Interesting in a weird kind of way. I wonder what the trains in New York will be called in a hundred years...

Not really the same as graffiti, although I could see why some folks would see it that way. The rock imagery generally had some sort of cultural or religious significance. What it meant exactly is up for debate among a lot of experts and tribal leaders. Thanks for watching. -Ari
