Canyon of the Ancients West of Cortez, about 45 minutes from Durango, is Canyon of the Ancients. This location was fairly recently given National Monument status. |

Ancient Ruins There are about 25-30 miles of trails open to hikers, bikers and horses. The trails wind through scenic sand stone and are littered with ancient ruins. |

Taking in the Sights Spectacular views abound. |

Better than Mesa Verde This place gets less exposure than Mesa Verde, located 20 minutes down the road, and is less crowded with a higher concentration of ruins. |
