Trail of the Ancients

The Trail of the Ancients may be the most historically significant in New Mexico, having been in continuous use since around 900 A.D. The Trail of the Ancients exposes visitors to exploration routes and settlements by Pueblo and Navajo peoples, Spanish, Mexican, and U.S. explorers and settlers. It takes you through Grants, El Morro, the Ice Caves, Chaco Cultural National Historic Park, the Zuni Mountains and Zuni Pueblo, Gallup, the Bisti Badlands, Crownpoint, Shiprock, Farmington, and the San Juan River Basin
