Three Rivers, New Mexico

Looking back accross the missile range from the Three Rivers Petroglyphs. Nice blend of desert colors. Three Rivers, New Mexico Petroglyphs. A unique spot in the middle of the desert not too far from the Trinity Site - you know, where they tested "The Bomb." Shot with a Canon EF (70s style SLR) in 2002.

Petroglyphs at Three Rivers were created by Jornada Mogollon people between about 900 and 1400 AD. A short interpretative trail 200 yards south of the petroglyphs leads to the remains of the Mogollon village, whose inhabitants were likely responsible for the petroglyphs. The site, which was partially excavated in 1976, was occupied for about 400 years. Foundations of three types of prehistoric buildings can be seen here
