From scenic drives to hiking and everything in between, there’s an adventure for every interest.
The monument contains many archaeological sites and artifacts that are integral to American history and sacred to Indigenous peoples. By treading softly and leaving things as we find them, we show respect for those who came before us and those who will visit these places after us.
