Part of this water system is still functioning. Stone paved roads and crop terraces were part of the infrastructure that have been revealed by archaeologists.
Petroglyphs and carved stone features are found throughout the site. Much of the artwork features stylized birds and animals.
The park also has camping areas for visitors.
For driving directions see the park website.
