Tucked away in a remote area of the Texas Panhandle, the Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument was formerly an important source of flint for the indigenous population. The monument itself can only be viewed as part of a ranger-led guided tour; the tour takes approximately hours, and it involves a moderately difficult one-mile hike with a large number of stairs.
Tours only take place during the summer months, and reservations are advised.
However, the park's Visitor Center is open year-round, and it offers museum visits, flintknapping presentations, and a short film about the monument's history.
