This morning, I went to the Petroglyph National Monument near Albuquerque, New Mexico. I hiked to the top of the mesa, looking at petroglyphs that had been carved millennia ago. Scientists have apparently dated some of the petroglyphs to 1700 - 1000 BC, and they've survived all this time. It's amazing. According to the National Parks employee I spoke with, there are 150 petroglyphs in this canyon. Here's a picture from the top of the mesa.
Also, here are some of the petroglyphs.
Lest you think this was the only awesome thing I did today, I also went to see a meteor crater outside of Flagstaff, Arizona.
So, those were my awesome things for the day. What were yours?
