Homolovi State Park

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:38:10

Closed in 2010 during the state budget crisis, this grasslands park beside the Little Colorado River re-opened in 2011 with a renewed commitment to protect the artifacts and structures within this sacred Hopi ancestral homeland. Before the area was converted into a park in 1993, bold thieves used backhoes to remove artifacts. Today, short hikes lead to petroglyphs and partly excavated ancient Native American sites.

The park is 3 miles northeast of Winslow via Hwy 87 (exit 257).
