The overall area encompasses more than 170,000 acres of desert within Southwest Colorado. The Bureau of Land Management or BLM the Landscape Conservation System actively manages the site. So far thousands of archaeological sites have been documented so far, but it is believed that thousands more still remain. So as you explore the numerous sites please be aware that many have yet to be discovered. Please report anything new to the main office. The sites are well laid out and google or Apple maps worked very well. The visitor center does have a simple map and that worked when there was no mobile service. Camping Locations Dispersed camping is allowed but checks in with the main office first to be sure you are in the correct areas for camping. If you are on the side of the visitor's centers side of the park there are formal campground facilities at the Mcphee Recreational Area and they have very nice campgrounds for a low cost. Please see the bottom of this article for additional information. If you drive the short distance to Hovenweep National Monument on the other far side of Canyons of the Ancients you will find another nice campground for you to use. Both of these sites allow RV' sand and tent camping. You will need to bring your own firewood but there was some cut wood laying around the campgrounds at McPhee. Wildlife Deer living within the Canyons of the Ancients and the surrounding areas. There are over 100 different bird species know to occupy the site and other animals such as deer that roam freely. Slow keep a close eye open for wildlife during your trip and make sure to drive slowly because deer will walk out in front of you. They do seem to be less afraid of cars and humans in general. This makes more a more dangerous encounter since they will just walk in front of your car, and don't run off so fast. Visitors Center And Museum On this particular trip, I did not spend much time here. This center is well documented and others who never venture out into the wildland of the canyons of the ancients have it well documents. Here is some additional information on the center and the museum, and click the links to learn more. The grounds to make a great day-use area, and have restrooms, and picnic tables for day use only. The Ancestrial Home OF The Pueblo Peoples The ancestral Pueblo peoples are spread over a very large area. From south of Albuquerque New Mexico, and Bandelier National Monument to the Chaco Canyon, and up into the Canyons of the Ancients. They even spread out into the Mesa Verde area high up in elevation to occupy the cliff dwelling cities within the cliffs. This group of people traveled far and had an impact all the way into Mexico trading with other ancient peoples along the turquoise trails. From precious stone to macaw feathers trade was fart and wide, and this also meant architectural methods were also traded along the different routes. Doorway arches are a specific skill, and you do see these very far north into Southern Colorado. Hovenweep National Monument Within The Canyons Of The Ancients Hovenweep National Monument front sign. The area coming into the monument is somewhat flat with unusual rock formations. The road is fairly decent and does not have heavy traffic. The park rangers were standing out front answering questions and giving everyone hiking ideas. Hovenweep National Monument visitors center front sign. Canyons Of The Ancients - The people of the Hovenweep area have a long history within the region. Back over 13,000 years ago nomadic hunter-gatherers. At some point, another possible group of people arrived from the west around 11,000 years ago. These people became known as the ancestral Pueblo people. Originally these people were very mobile and would set up temporary housing underneath cliffs, and other areas within the region. It is believed that when they began to cultivate corn life changed. These changes included a more structural setup of family or tribal life. This is when they began to build pit houses closer to their crops, and within the different valleys or plateaus for farming. Once could assume being closer to water sources was also a major concern. In this article, I'm going to lay out some of the major sites that have viable ruins. Trail Between The Canyons Seeing the ruins from inside the canyon can bring you a whole new perspective. For instance, it does become obvious that the site is heavily fortified and well protected. The water source would have been very valuable, and most likely came with an excess of food and grain. Several of the photos below are from inside the canyon looking upwards and do provide a unique perspective.

The site has been backfilled to protect the remains, and junipers and grass now grow on top after the excavation in the 1980s. Sand Canyon Trail Head This trailhead within the overall Canyons of the Ancients does provide a great view of the cliffside on the Sand Pueblo Canyon. Another great hike and well worth the time and effort to look along the trail, and to envision yourself back in time.
