Learn about New Mexico's 13 National Parks and Monuments and explore their significant cultural and natural resources. Petroglyph National Monument, the newest National Park unit in New Mexico, protects a variety of cultural and natural resources including volcanoes, plants, mammals, and reptiles, archeological sites, and an estimated 24,000 carved images; and it is surrounded by an urban environment. Trace the past 100 years of New Mexico in the history and stories of the national park system units in our state.
