Petroglyph National Monument Boca Negra Trail Guide

Petroglyph National Monument protects one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America, featuring designs and symbols carved onto rocks by Native American and Spanish settlers four hundred to seven hundred years ago. Surveys confirm the presence of more than twenty thousand petroglyphs along the volcanic escarpment. Petroglyphs are a valuable record of cultural expression and hold profound spiritual significance for certain contemporary Native American tribes, and they represent a part of their national story and heritage.

The Boca Negra Canyon Trail Guide offers insights into the area and people once present here. It includes specific details about sites along the several trails within Boca Negra Canyon, including Mesa Point Trail, Macaw Trail, and Cliff Base Trail, as well as the upper canyon area.
