Hundreds of petroglyphs, dating from pre-contact time and from the Spanish colonial era, can be found along this escarpment above the Santa Fe River. This site is also of interest to those tracing the route of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, as the ancient road passed along here as well. The site is part of the BLM's La Cienega Area of Critical Environmental Concern. |
