Phil's log
Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves structures and artifacts of Ancestral Pueblo people from the 1100s through 1200s. People associated with Chaco Canyon to the south built and used the structures, then people related to the Mesa Verde region to the north used the site in the 1200s. The monument was established in 1923, and designated a World Heritage Site in 1987.

This ancient pueblo gives you a very good idea of it's residents' lifestyle. The short, paved walking trail takes you not only
to the village center but also inside a section of the partly restored) ruins. There's also a fully restored structure that
visualized the building technics of its creators.
