El Morro is better known for its "Insciption Rock," a collection of early Native American and Spanish petroglyphs carved into the exposed rock at the base of this colorful New Mexico mesa. A recent rock slide, occuring just prior to my visit to El Morro, forced the park to close the portion of the trail that leads to the petroglyphs. So I headed to the top of the mesa where I spent my first visit to this wonderful park.

The photographs in this photo tour were taken in the early summer of 2006. They highlight the scenery as viewed from the top of the mesa. Related links for El Morro are listed near the bottom of this page.

Purchasing Prints
Prints of the images within are available for purchase through Kchisos Gallery, my physical art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. All images are available in 8 x 10 inch and 11 x 14 inch prints, while some are also available in 16 x 20 inch prints. Contact me at my gallery for pricing and additional information about print orders.
NOTE: because I have several photo journal web sites containing several hundred images, it is important to reference both the title of the web site (in this case: Go New Mexico Photo Journal) and the title of the image (as it appears above the image on the individual image page) when inquiring about print orders.
