During our stay we ventured out to find the Petroglyph’s which were almost in Albuquerque itself. Its spread out over a large area so we hit the visitor center first and checked out the map. After looking at all the sites in the area we chose the one they 
allowed dogs on the trails which was quite a few miles north of the visitor center. We drove thru lots of neighborhoods getting there. When 
we finally got there we were kind of surprised to see the trailhead was in a housing development and right behind a small 
store. We parked and headed out on the trail. Luckily for us it was nice and cool for the uphill hike. There was no shade anywhere in sight, I bet its blazing here in the summer months. I was amazed how many drawings were on the rocks, there were hundreds, probably thousands of them. It made me wonder if the parents of the people doing this to the rocks were unhappy akin to the parents of today’s taggers?
This was a nice walk thru the desert just west of downtown Albuquerque. We finished the loop and then headed back to the car.
