Review:
Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is one of New Mexico's premiere Spanish-era historical parks, preserving the remains of three significant Spanish Catholic mission facilities constructed between 1622 and 1635. The park, which was originally established in 1909 to protect the remains of the Gran Quivira mission, now protects three missions within the Mountainair region. In addition to Gran Quivira, which is considered to be one of the American Southwest's most important preserved missions, the park also preserves the Mission of San Gregoiro de Abó and the Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepcion de Quarai mission. Visitors can explore the mission's ruins along self-guided interpretive trails, which offer information on the ruins' historical context.
