There are several areas of the park, including connecting open spaces that serve as a wildlife bridge on the west side of town. The park preserves and showcases symbols/artwork in the stone made by ancient cultures. Parts of it are also peaceful places to explore out in the desert. Fall through early spring are best to visit.

Arts & Culture
This is one of my favorite places to bring people. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities on the continent. Built on top of a mesa for defensive purposes. There is nothing else like it. You do need to go up on a guided tour, which depart hourly.
