Our first national park outside of Arizona was in New Mexico. Known as El Morro, a Spanish word meaning the headland or bluff.

#ElMorro was a popular stop for travelers for over a thousand years, thanks to a watering hole that was a known reliable source of water year round. The water stays in a hole next to the bluff that is fed by spring rain waters that find there way down the side of the bluff.

This #NPS is free to visit, and also has RV and camping spots near by that are also free, but without any RV hookups. It does have vault toilets, and access to clean water.

The kids got their 13th Junior Ranger Badge as they learned the history of the many different people who traveled through this area. The sandstone bluff allowed travelers to easily leave inscriptions next to the already existing petroglyphs. These travelers included Spanish conquistadors, Mexican and U.S. military convoys, and pioneers.
