Stories Carved in Stone

Ancient petroglyphs stretch across a dark, weathered rock face at Puerco Pueblo in Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park. Human-like figures, animals, geometric designs, and enigmatic symbols were carved into the desert-varnished stone by people who inhabited and traveled through this landscape centuries ago. Surrounded by sun-bleached sandstone, these enduring marks offer a remarkable glimpse into the human history preserved among the rocks of the American Southwest.
