National Monuments

Canyons of the Ancients
This area covers almost 164,000 acres of high desert in southwest Colorado. This area has the highest density of archaeological sites in the nation, most of them representing the Ancestral Puebloan (Anasazi) culture. Visitors will find some intact structures, but most sites appear as rubble mounds to the untrained eye.

Hovenweep National Monument
Hovenweep National Monument protects five prehistoric, Puebloan-era villages spread over a twenty-mile expanse of mesa tops and canyons along the Utah-Colorado border.
