Petroglyphs National Monument

Last day with Drew before he flew back to California. We visited the Petroglyph National Monument. Petroglyphs are images carved into black lava rock. Some are very recognizable as animals, birds, and people. Some of them took awhile to find while others were right in front of us as we hiked two different trails. 

Can you find this little face underneath the plant?

One of the hikes took us to the top of the Mesa. The winds had started to blow and we’re quite strong as you can see by our picture. 

The lava rocks formed when several volcanoes erupted many thousands of years ago. 

With the winds blowing in our faces, we needed to find a brewery … Lava Rock Brewery. Great way to end our time with Drew in New Mexico.
