    The Petroglyph Point Trail is a 2.4-mile loop that starts near the Mesa Verde Museum. The trail features narrow, rocky paths and steep drop-offs, leading to a remarkable petroglyph panel 1.4 miles in. This panel, over 35 feet wide, showcases ancient carvings of human figures, animals, spirals, and handprints, representing the Ancestral Pueblo people's written language. The trail provides panoramic views of Spruce and Navajo Canyons, immersing visitors in natural and cultural history. Hikers should register at the museum, carry plenty of water, and check trail hours to ensure access.
      Super nice just below small alcoves all along the cliff.
