Mesa Verde National Park, near Durango, Colorado.
The park contains several steep valleys and peaks, with elevations ranging from 6,100 to 8,400 feet above sea level.
This well decorated rock stands at the beginning of the Mesa Point Trail at Boca Negra Canyon. The basalt rock formed from volcanic eruptions approximately 130,000 years ago over the eons developed a darker outer layer from exposure to the elements and sun. Native tribes knew of this property of these rocks and chiseled away parts of the outer layer to create the petroglyphs. Unfortunately the forces of time will one day reclaim the carvings as processes that created the darker outer layer continue and the lighter colored petroglyphs blend in. The Mesa Point Trail lies at southern tip of the eastern mesa of Boca Negra canyon. The rough, rocky trail ascends the mesa before looping back down to the trailhead. Boca Negra Canyon is the most visited portion of Petroglyph National Monument even though the canyon contains less then 5% of the petroglyphs in the 7,236 acre monument. Much of the monument, created in 1990, is still in private ownership and closed to the public, though more areas will be opened as the government aquires more of the land. The Boca Negra park of the Monument had previously been preserved as Indian Petroglyph State Park in 1973.
