- Tips For Visiting Here with Respect
Avoid Building Cairns
Building cairns can impact sensitive sites and are a form of vandalism to the natural world. You might not realize it, but some stacked stones may be ancestral shrines. Leave placement of trail directional signs and leveling of cairns to land managers.
Leave Cultural Belongings Where They Are
Cultural belongings such as pottery pieces, flakes and stone tools, corn cobs, and textiles left by early Indigenous peoples are still sacred to Tribes and Pueblos. Ancestral items and historic artifacts help researchers learn about the past. It's illegal to remove such items from public lands.
Stay on Established Trails
Stay on existing trails and routes to protect the living biocrust. Once stepped on, this fragile crust takes years to regrow.
