Nankoweap


Nankoweap


High above the Colorado River at Nankoweap, hikers sit on a ledge outside small chambers built a thousand years ago. Anasazi Indians stored grain here as protection against rodents. The park preserves more than 2,700 archaeological sites of Native Americans, who have lived in the area at least 4,000 years.
