New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque, was founded in 1660 with land grants to more than 100 Spanish families from the Duke of Albuquerque. Today the city has more than half a million inhabitants and was the sixth fastest-growing in America.

Going back in time, the Petroglyph National Monument, just West and North of the city features thousands of petroglyphs, which are pictures carved on the basalt lava rocks. Most of these petroglyphs were made 400 to 700 years ago by the native Pueblo people. Some might date back 2,000 to 3,000 years. Others are from the modern era of the Hispanics and more frequent explorers. Three viewing sections are available to the visitor. The most popular area is Boca Negra Canyon. This area is run by the city and there is a small admission charge.
