Long House
Archaeological site
👍👍 We visited Mesa Verde at the end of July and were very fortunate to book a ranger guided tour for Long House. Tours sell out quickly and it's best to book in the morning as soon as they become available. Currently (as of July 2022) the tour tickets are posted to recreation.gov at 8am MST 14 days ahe...

James Fort archaeological site
Archaeological site
👍 There's not much to look at but the experience of standing there, where colonial settlement began, is quite fascinating. As you walk around, you begin to imagine what life was like in the early days of settlement and what else is buried beneath you, all waiting to be revealed and unearthed.

Turtle Mound
Archaeological site
👍👍 We visit the Turtle Mound every time we come to New Smyrna Beach. As senior citizens we are fortunate to have a National Park Pass to enter Canaveral National Seashore for free. Otherwise it is $20/ person. We like the gentle climb over the boardwalks to the top of the mound. The views from the top...

Legend Rock State Petroglyph Site

👍👍 Went at sunset and I love it 🇺🇸not just the place, but the drive there. At the base there is small/nice interpretive center and it is well kept.Be aware that there are gravel roads during the drive there and wild life is everywhere,so you can really see where the inspiration for the Carvings/Drawi...

Petroglyphs Panels
Historical place
👍👍 Not a lot of parking, so I can see this place easily getting crowded during peak season. As it was today, Sept 12 it was already starting to feel a bit cramped. The very short walk itself is easy and scenic on a well maintained wooden path. You get to see the petroglyphs on the rock wall from afar,...

Grimes Point Archaeological Area
Archaeological site
👍👍 Wonderful place to visit. So much to see. A lot of it is not immediately obvious, so keep your eyes open. Every time you think you've seen the last petroglyph, another rock displays more. The exploration is a reward all by itself. Finding different petroglyphs is frosting on the cake. The main trail...

😠 My husband has been into gems and paleontology in general for the past several months since our children are up and grown. He got so excited when he found out there was a shark tooth hill where he could dig for shark teeth. He learned all about the Ernst quarry and even read and watched videos about...

Elden Pueblo Archaeological Site
Archaeological site
👍👍 This site is on the eastern side of Flagstaff. Take an hour to stop and go through as it is an easy walking path. Its hard to believe that water was an issue in this area. Read the information to see how they farmed and survived. It looks like there is continuing archeology work being done here. I...
