Piedras Marcadas

 I went to the Piedras Marcadas rock art site primarily to make some pictures with one of my old Kodak folding cameras.  However, knowing I would not be able to get close to many of the panels because of the rope barriers, I also took along my little Canon digital for a bit more reach with the 4x zoom.

There is an unexcavated Pueblo not far from this site.  It is quite a way from the present course of the Rio Grande, but long ago the river wandered through the year all over the valley.

There are thousands of chiseled images on the rocks along the seventeen miles of the volcanic escarpment of the National Monument.  However many times I visit a particular site, there always seem new things to find.
