New Mexico is rich in history and there are many sites near Santa Fe where visitors can view petroglyphs etched by the Ancient Puebloan people. Join Santa Fe Mountain Adventures and hike at La Cieneguilla Petroglyphs which is home to one of the largest collections of petroglyphs in the southwest. An archeological survey done in 1991 noted 4,400 petroglyphs in the area some of which date back to 8000 to 2000 BCE. Our guide will share his knowledge of La Cieneguilla and provide an educated interpretation of the various motifs.
