Reviews of El Morro National Monument
"This place is why New Mexico is call the land of enchantment. Wow! The petroglyphs were fantastic. The signatures of the Spanish from the with dates from the 1700’s, the American military signatures from the 1800’s, amazing stone work art with the signatures too. The ancient pond was great. The hike to the top of the cliffs to see the ruins of native peoples was way cool. This park is so well kept. The rangers are very well informed and happy to share any and all information with you. This was treat an indeed. Get there early because they close the hike up to the top of the mountain at 2 or 3pm. Clean bathrooms too. And don’t ignore the thick forest that surrounds the park. So peaceful. Warning! This park will be hard for folks who have difficulty walking. Plus, there is no wheelchair access to the top of the cliff to see the the Native American site ruins. However, a wheelchair can easily do the 1/4 mile loop to see the engravings, petroglyphs, and the water hole. If you are disabled, don’t attempt to hike to the top. It’s a challenge. I didn’t make it. I had to send my son with the camera. Very steep climb with stairs. Amazing place."
"The monument is beautiful and well worth the detour. The staff, however, treated my group with prejudice. They were very kind and welcoming to the white guest. We did not let that ruin our experience and remained respectful."
"This monument combines staggering natural beauty with historical significance. Three waves of visitors--Pueblo, Spanish and American--have etched writings and drawings into this massive sandstone bluff over the course of many centuries. This has been a real highlight of our trip to New Mexico."
"Paid a visit to El Morro National Monument during the winter season, primarily as a overnight stop along my cross country road trip route. There are no entrance or use fees here, including the free campground. The eight site campground features well spaced, mostly private sites and his & hers vault toilets. The views of the surrounding valley and bluffs are rather lovely. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area or transiting I-40 as a scenic byway that's worth a visit. There was snow during my visit, but the road into the facility and campground loop were plowed; the trail network near the visitors center was partially closed for safety due to ice."
"On a cold, snowy Monday afternoon we had the entire park to ourselves. Due to snow not all hiking trails were open. That didn't diminish this trip at all. The area is just beautiful, and the history here is incredible. Carved into the sandstone bluff are petroglyphs, names, and dates, dating back to the 1500's. Onate carved his name into this rock over 10 years before anyone had landed at Plymouth Rock. This is really a must see for anyone who loves the history of the Southwest. The park is also a designated Dark Sky Park and there are stargazing events held here in the warmer months. As of the date of this review the park is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday."
