The Westside is marked by the peaks of dormant volcanoes and the treasures of Petroglyph National Monument, where visitors can walk for miles among ancient volcanic rock etchings. 
The historic and natural geologic highlight of the Albuquerque's Westside is the Petroglyph National Monument. This National Monument is managed jointly by the City of Albuquerque and the National Park Service. It occupies 7,244 acres of Albuquerque Real Estate on the west mesa.

Boca Negra Horseman's Complex is located near Petroglyph National Monument on the Westside as well and is and excellent facility managed by the City of Albuquerque’s open space program.
