El Morro is one of those places that is off the beaten track and little visited which after you've been there you say, "What a neat place!" A water hole that was used from prehistoric times to modern times, where travelers have left their mark, whether it be a petroglyph or an inscription. The first part of the 2 mile trail encompasses the "inscription trail" where, after stopping at a pool of water, they left their mark.

The mark of ancient man.

Petrogyphs

The mark of more modern man.

Inscriptions

Where ancient man resided.

Atsinna Pueblo

What modern man comes to gaze upon.
