The interpretive center is a visitor favorite at the archaeological site. This structure preserves exposed archaeological deposits allowing you to step back in time with each layer.

​

Stop by to see extinct megafauna such as bison, dire wolf, and camel.

Visitor Center & Trails

Our visitor center is the first place you will stop at the site. Purchase tickets or gift shop items and get information about our trails.

​

Follow paths along the property to see pits where gravel was once mined to expose layers filled with extinct megafauna and stone tools.

​

Keep in mind that New Mexico summer temperatures can be brutal for even the most seasoned of visitors. Bring water and take your time as you walk the property.
