Colorado People & Places: Monuments of the Four Corners Region

Monuments of the Four Corners Region: Our adventure starts at Mesa Verde then going west and south to Canyon de Chelly, up to Monument Valley and back to Hovenweep and Canyon of the Ancients. We'll look at the ancient and modern societies, human impacts, and the geologic features of this vast area of land. We'll look at the the incredible rock features as well as the Ancestral Puebloans who inhabited the mysterious cliff dwellings, mesa top settlements and many archaeological sites in the Southwest that are the ancestors of today's Pueblo culture, the Hopi and Zuni. The other major tribe, the Navajo, arrived a bit later and now occupy the areas in eastern Utah and northeastern Arizona.
