Rio Grande del Norte

The Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, located in the northern Rio Grande Valley rift zone, features rugged plains at an average elevation of 7,000 feet, interspersed with volcanic cones and steep canyons. This area has a rich history of human activity, evidenced by ancient petroglyphs and prehistoric dwellings, alongside more recent homesteading remnants from the 1930s.

As a vital habitat for wintering animals, the monument serves as a corridor for wildlife movement between two mountain ranges. Visitors can enjoy a variety of recreational activities, including whitewater rafting, hiking, fishing, and camping, all set against the backdrop of its unique geological and cultural landscape.
