Where we lived in Albuquerque
Image 21 of 125
One of the reasons we came to Albuquerque
Image 22 of 125
There are over 15,000 petroglyphs here
Image 23 of 125
They date back several hundred years
Image 24 of 125
Most are by the Native American residents
Image 25 of 125
Some were by the exploring Spanish

It's the world's longest tram ride
