Review & FAQ:

Crow Canyon Archaeological District stretches across historic archaeological sites within New Mexico's Rio Arriba and San Juan County, located within the town of Dinétah, the traditional homeland of the region's indigenous Navajo people. The district, which is located half an hour southeast of the city of Farmington, preserves spectacular Navajo ruins and rock art from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, including stunning petroglyph panels with Navajo and Pueblo artistic images. Navajo defensive structures constructed during the 18th century are also showcased, known as pueblitos. Visitors can explore the site throughout the year and view one of the American Southwest's most extensive collections of indigenous art, protected on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974.
