Three Rivers Petroglyph Site is one of the few locations in the Southwest set aside solely for its rock art. It is also one of the few sites giving visitors such direct access to petroglyphs. The number and concentration of petroglyphs here make it one of the largest and most interesting petroglyphs sites in the Southwest. Pets are not allowed on the trails so leave Fido at home for this one.
