Mesa Point Trail at Boca Negra Canyon

Petroglyph National Monument, Albuquerque, NM

On February 20, 2023 Kim and I walked Mesa Point Trail in Boca Negra Canyon in Petroglyph National Monument just outside Albuquerque. This very short, paved walk had a large number of petroglyphs. Well worth the stop.
