500 to 1,000 year old rock art done by native Americans is an interesting study. Much of it is linked to the Fremont and Anasazi Indians. Some of it is older still in the Colorado Plateau and goes back to the Archaic period. A petroglyph is an image which is cut or carved into the rock. Pictographs are painted on the rock using things like animal fat and plant oils. The petroglyph below is from a well known rock in Albuquerque.
Exploring the Southwest is at its best when you're hiking through the canyons and discovering ancient rock art and remnants of old ruins.
