Canyons of the Ancients National Monument: There are many wooded, steep sided canyons containing numerous ancient Anasazi ruins in the plateau land near Mesa Verde National Park, and a large area of them have been incorporated into a new national monument, which occupies generally inaccessible BLM land in the southwest corner of the state, west of US 666 and adjoining the border with Utah. The area extends from Squaw Canyon in the north, across various tributaries of Yellow Jacket Canyon and the northern branches of McElmo Canyon, north of Montezuma County Road G. A small separate area is south of this road, around Rincon Canyon. Several sections of Hovenweep National Monument have been incorporated into the new region, as has the former Anasazi Special Recreation Management Area (SRMA) and Lowry Pueblo, a National Historical Landmark.
