We went on a hike in Rinconada Canyon this morning. The canyon is part of the Petroglyph National Monument located in the hills on the west side of Albuquerque. We saw around 75 drawings. Amazing to think they could have been there for a thousand years. Unfortunately there is evidence of more recent activity as well; most notable is a spot two signatures dated 1919. Saw a pair of roadrunners hopping around on the rocks. Another first for me.
There was no shade at all on the hike and we were pretty worn out by the time we made it back to the campground. I worked on the computer and researched trip options and destinations. Sure does take a lot of time just to find out what’s around.
