From massive cliff dwellings to life-sized petroglyphs, we’re diving into some of our favorite places to experience the deep history and cultural richness of the ancestral Puebloan people and beyond. Whether you’ve visited before or are looking to expand your bucket list, this episode is packed with inspiration to help you connect with these sacred, awe-inspiring sites across the Southwest.
Join us as we discuss…

The remote Canyonlands trail that leads to some of the largest, most mysterious rock art in North America
A cliffside city frozen in time, and the tours that take you right into it
The hidden New Mexico site where ladders lead to ancient carved homes in the cliffs
The massive ruins of a forgotten cultural hub that rival anything else in the Southwest

We hope you enjoyed exploring some of the most meaningful Native American sites the National Park Service helps protect. These places are truly amazing, and we hope you get to get out there and explore yourself! 
Today’s task: If you've been to any of these places or have one to recommend, we’d love to hear from you! Share your experiences over on our share them on the Dirt In My Shoes Facebook or Instagram pages, and let’s build a community list of must-see stops!
