Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Abo Trail Guide

Abó was the site of a Native American pueblo, home to a community of Piro-speaking Tanoans, whose descendants still live and thrive in the pueblos of Isleta and Sandia west of Abó. Centuries later, the Spanish encountered a thriving community at Abó and built a complex of missions that are now preserved at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument, Abó being one of three sites where missions were built.

This guide to the Abó Trail takes you through the mission and pueblo, offering special insights into the cultures of those who have lived there, the impacts of European colonization on Indigenous peoples, and the story of resilience that resonates throughout the landscape and connecting history.
