The Mesa Point Trail is a short .4 mile lollipop loop in Boca Negra Canyon. It is one of three short trails in Boca Negra Canyon yet it is the only trail which leads to the mesa top providing 360 degree views of the Boca Negra escarpment area.

Just beyond the trailhead, these well preserved petroglyphs are abstract in nature and their meaning obscure

Birds of all kinds are represented in Petroglyph National Monument

Perhaps the most common petroglyph of all - a simple hand

Perhaps a mountain lion is represented here - or some other type of large cat

Very nice petroglyph of a chief with a head-dress - opposite a simple face

The Mesa Point Trail is the only trail in Boca Negra Canyon which leads to the mesa top - seen here
