Petroglyph National Monument
Petroglyph National Monument protects one of the largest petroglyph sites in North America — more than 24,000 images carved into volcanic basalt along the West Mesa escarpment just south of Rio Rancho's city limits. The monument spans roughly 17 miles along the Rio Grande rift and is managed jointly by the National Park Service and the City of Albuquerque. The Boca Negra Canyon area (6900 Atrisco Drive NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120) is one of the monument's trail systems, while the visitor center at 6510 Western Trail NW has no petroglyph viewing trails; the monument says the viewing trails are 1 to 6.5 miles away, so groups dropped at the visitor center need onward transportation to their selected trail.
Charter bus parking is not specifically published; confirm group access with the monument's directions and parking page before your visit.
