It is a land of deep sacred history. Mesa Verde National Park preserves the cliff dwellings of the Ancestral Pueblo people.3 Hovenweep National Monument protects Ancestral Puebloan towers on the Colorado–Utah border, and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument protects the highest known density of archaeological sites in the United States.45 The Four Corners Monument, on Navajo Nation land, marks the meeting point of the four states.6 Please treat these places, and the peoples who hold them sacred, with respect.
