Within this monument are six ancestral Puebloan villages spread over a 20-mile expanse of mesa tops and canyons along the Utah-Colorado border. Multi-storied towers perched on canyon rims and boulders lead visitors to marvel at the builders' skill and motivation.

Camping and day hiking within the main park. Outlying roads and village locations may require a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
