I wasn’t sure if this was just a “handful of petroglyphs you see from a ways off” but the short ~1mi hike takes you in and amongst a wide variety of rock carvings. Some are very elaborate and others quite simple, but the experience of hiking along and sleuthing out what a particular carving meant was a lot of fun.
Great views, friendly visitor center experience, some shade for parking (if you are there early). No dogs allowed on any trail - just on-leash in the parking lot.
The second trail to the excavated houses was okay - not a lot to see, but it doesn’t take a lot of time. Even in October the area is hot, so choose your time to visit wisely.
Your America the Beautiful pass gets you in free for the day. Otherwise I think it was $7/car.
