Petroglyphs

While I'm posting my pictures and narrative about my adventures before/during/after the tour, I am also planning on writing about local sections, volunteers and the ACS from a tour speaker and volunteer perspective. But on with the pictures:

Petroglyph National Monument is stunning. I hiked and hiked and hiked. The West is full of wonder and excitement compared to central Illinois.

This is the western edge of the monument - Three Sisters Volcanoes. The Rio Grande is an active rift valley. Sandia (east) was formed by uplift. The three sisters are part of a chain of cinder cones formed 150 millions years ago. They are sacred to native peoples.

Family: please note the obligatory reflection in self-portraits.
