Located southwest of Santa Fe along Paseo Real Road, these trails are located on Bureau of Land Management public lands. Hundreds of petroglyphs, dating from pre-contact time and the Spanish colonial era, can be found along this mesa above the Santa Fe River. Most of the petroglyphs were placed there by Keresan-speaking puebloan people living in the area between the 13th and 17th centuries. The area is best known for the frequency of hump-backed flute player images and a variety of bird figures. The site is also of interest to those tracing the route of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the ancient road which passed along here.
