The Encierro Canyon Petroglyphs Site 1, in the Carrizo Canyon area southeast of Bloomfield, New Mexico, includes some of the best petroglyphs found in what is often referred to as Dinétah or 'land of the people' in the Navajo language. There are two groups of petroglyphs at the site with one group being down near ground level and another up on a bench in the cliff.
