Ancient Settlement in San Juan (and other) Counties, Utah.
Throughout this area is the evidence of past cultures. You can find pictographs, petroglyphs, and stone ruins.
Some of these are very well known and accessible on footpaths. Any of the ranger stations, including the one in Montecello, can provide more information.
The Monticello division includes ruins with the remains of a granary (est. 700 years old) near the Nizhoni campground, and "The Forest and Man" trail off the Devils Canyon campground includes a Moki ruin. This vast National Forest in southeastern Utah is mainly on land at a higher altitudes than the famous Canyonlands and Natural Bridges National parks near by. So temperatures are much lower and the vegetation is more lush. The National Forest website includes links to maps, brochures, and the addresses of the various district ranger stations. The location given is for Monticello, Utah, location of one of the ranger stations.
Note: Pot found in Manti-LaSal may be 1000 years old.
