Technically, this monument is called a volcanic basalt escarpment. It looks like you are going to get a lesson about geologic formations that should be quite interesting. After all that activity, you might want to take it easy for the rest of the day. How does it sound to hit up one if the top restaurants in Albuquerque for dinner? Make sure you stay hydrated and take it easy while traveling the escarpment, too. It can get quite hot in New Mexico.
If you look at the review highlights for the monument, you’re going to see that people talk about it with high regard. They call it a must see with great views, and the various pictures indeed show the views. Of course, you are going to get to see it all in person. Will it be your first stop? Remember, you might want to make a day of it, or at least a half day of it, leaving other stops for other days. Some of the other attractions will be quicker visits for you and your family, but take your time at the Petroglyph National Monument, for more reasons than one.
