Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument

Salt, Societies, and Spirituality: A Tale of Two Cultures
Tucked away in the middle of New Mexico you'll find Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. Its three sites offer a glimpse into a unique time in history - a time entrenched with cultural borrowing, conflict, and struggles. The now abandoned sites stand as reminders of the Spanish and Pueblo people's early encounters. Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument is designated as an International Dark Sky Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association.
