One of the signs along the trail reads that “[s]ome Pueblo elders believe that the petroglyphs choose when and to whom to reveal themselves to.”
The original meaning of many of the petroglyphs have been lost to time, so they’re open to interpretation. It’s like Petroglyph Pictionary: I see a wild turkey chasing a man in a top hat carrying a large pot…And this one is clearly Lady Gaga surrounded by moon men alongside their starship.And here’s an angry crab sneaking up on a dapper gentleman in suspenders. Nailed it.
And I was in heels. No one is surprised.
I cannot emphasize enough how happy I was to NOT see any snakes.
