  • This area is covered with inscriptions on the rocks first placed by the indigeous people of the area and later by the Spanish settlers who followed the custom. The Spanish inscriptions are easier to recognize because they typically used crosses.

  • The park has a beautiful ranger station with lots of guidebooks, maps, and interesting information about the National Monument. The day that I was there, two local Native Americans were making drums from logs right on the property.

     Zrim's comment made me laugh because I DID have a panic attack on the cable car--but it was worth it once we got to the top! Now I just drive to the crest instead.

     We saw the tram. I decided I would stay on the ground, thank you very much! :-)

     I think I'd have a panic attack on the cablecar. I agree that Albequerque is a neat place--especially at dinner time.
