White Rock Overlook
Scenic spot
ππ This was such a beautiful spot. You can see so much of the Rio Grande down below when you go down the walking path. If you to the north side of the parking lot you can view a couple of waterfalls but be careful because there is no fence or rail so watch the kids π

Initial section of trail is flat and well-marked, but once you go through the barbed-wire fence, the trail markings disappear. The Petroglyphs are along the edge of the volcanic caprock, near the top of the mesa. βAll Trailsβ was only partially helpful;...

π Went there on a Tuesday morning and the park was almost empty. We did the 4.4 mile historic park hike which was very enjoyable though the trail definitely has some up and down and is rocky.
