This trip had it all. From petroglyphs and ancient structures made by Chacoan people in ancient times, to arches and slot canyons carved by water, Tapia canyon is a heck of an adventure. See it with us as we explore this unique place in northwest New Mexico.

Those ruins on top of the canyon walls are used by local Native American people for ceremonies several times a year. During those times, the canyon is off limits to non-natives. There should be a sign at the mouth of the canyon describing that?
I had no idea this canyon is here. It is now on my bucket list!
Thanks for sharing! I’ve only gotten as far as the first panel.
Unexcavated kivas?
My last name is Tapia.
