Canyons of the Ancients National Monument is a rugged and breathtaking landscape containing the highest known density of archaeological sites in the United States. The monument, covering 176,000 acres, is home to over 9,300 recorded archaeological sites including cliff dwellings, kivas and rock art. Six miles from the heart of Cortez, CANM was designated as a National Monument in 2000. The Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center & Museum, located outside of the monument, is a museum of the Ancestral Pueblo culture and other native cultures in the Four Corners region and also serves as a visitor center for the monument. The center is also a nationally recognized curation facility, housing thousands of artifacts of ancestral Puebloan culture.

Anasazi Heritage Center, located in Dolores, Colorado, is an archaeological museum of Native American pueblo and hunter-gatherer cultures. Two 12th-century archaeological sites, the Escalante and Dominguez Pueblos, at the center were once home to Ancient Pueblo peoples. This place is very special if you are interested in the archeology and dwellings of the Ancient Publoans that lived here and the ruins that you will see when hiking from the cabin. It's a hands on museum with many of the best artifacts and history of the area you are staying in. It's will worth the visit!
