Determination: Allowing rock climbing would be contrary to the reasons for the establishment of Petroglyph National Monument, which is to protect the cultural, and natural resources, especially the petroglyphs, which are located primarily on the Escarpment. Rock climbing or scrambling, even on a limited basis, could result in unacceptable damage to the park’s resources (e.g., archeological sites, raptor habitat, etc. ), especially its signature resource – the Petroglyphs. Determination: Hot air balloon landings would be contrary to the reasons for the establishment of Petroglyph National Monument. Balloon landings are unpredictable and potentially destructive to fragile desert grasslands, sensitive archeological sites / structures and government property. Unauthorized launchings and/or landings can endanger persons, property and cultural/natural resources.
