Ancient Stories on Stone

Petroglyphs emerge from the dark desert varnish of a weathered boulder at Puerco Pueblo in Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park. Surrounded by pale sandstone and sparse high-desert vegetation, the ancient markings stand apart from the rugged landscape, preserving traces of the people who lived and traveled through this region centuries ago. The wider view reveals how these pieces of rock art remain embedded within the landscape that has surrounded them for generations.
