176,000 acres with exceptionally beautiful hiking throughout including several loops of varying lengths at Sand Canyon. Drive 10 miles from Cortez to Canyon of Ancients National Monument, where (even if Visitor Center is closed) you can walk on a wide, cement sidewalk to exceptional 360 degree views of McPhee Lake and mountain ranges in several directions and visit the Escslante Pueblo cultural site. If Visitor Center is open, get maps and tips to locate other cultural sights you can drive to and hike or bike to explore. Check website for days and hours of operation.

Beautiful hikes and ruins to explore. Great to hike early in the summer or anytime in the spring or fall.

Wonderful hiking and not too far to drive. Warm and sunny, red rock and Ancestral Puebloan sites. Love this place!!!

Sand Canyon is the most famous spot here, but for fans of a more remote experience with ancient puebloan history I highly recommend anywhere in this general area to explore. Please be respectful of any artifacts and rock art if you visit these sites: unlike Mesa Verde many are not stabilized and as a result much more fragile. The less fortified look provides a more intimate connection to the past. I hope it goes without saying, but leave all you find undisturbed and in the same condition it was when you found it.
