An excellent monument to see on a day trip out of Albuquerque with a stop in Grants for a meal. This monument is great to go to with people that are mobility limited as the base trail is paved and has very few steps, might even be a path to get to the inscription rock with no steps. There is an upper trail to the Atsinna Pueblo ruins above where the natives lived. This trail is a lot more strenuous to ascend, not difficult for the able bodied though. Lots of remnants of their settlements hundreds of years later. Pottery shards and obvious structures. Don't take souvenirs from here please. Anyhow, you can see the inscription of Juan de Onate from 1598 in the rock as well as hundreds of others. Some tell stories, others just the name.

A great hiking trail with 400 year old inscriptions and a magnificent 1,000 year old ruin.

El Morro is a fascinating US National Monument located in Cibola County in New Mexico. El Morro has inscriptions dating back to 1605. A larger prehistoric pueblo sets on top of this sandstone monument in which you can explore. The monument is a little less than 2 hours West on I-40 from the Casita.
