There is a set of interpretive sign and free telescopes to see the petroglyphs.
These glyphs were etched into the desert varnish (see the earthcache at this location) by the people who farmed the Puerco River Valley 650 to 2,000 years ago. It is possible that the Anasazi carved these drawings. The meaning of these glyphs have not been deciphered.
