   As the name suggest, Petroglyph National Monument preserves petroglyphs carved in the rock. If you enjoy hiking, this is a great site. If you don't, this is probably not the site for you, as hiking is pretty much the only activity at the site and the only way to view the petroglyphs. I took a short walk to the top of a hill.
