This was amazing to witness and see! Dated in the 1100’s it is quite surreal of its survival, thankfully in part ot the Rangers in the early 1930’s who took it upon themselves to preserve.

Very neat to see. Would definitely recommend stopping. Make sure to pick up a guide for the numbers. I did include the brochure photos. Fun little reptiles running around and I really liked learning what some of the plants were (they were labeled) and some beautiful flowers were blooming. The blowhole was blowing today and it felt GREAT!

The family enjoyed a nice walk (approx 0.5 mile) around the national monument. We got to see many lizards, some trying to eat smaller ones, as well as enjoying the scenery at the monument. Using the trail guide we enjoyed learning about each of the numbered locations at the monument.
