Gran Quivira is the largest of the three sites — the remains of a pueblo village also known as Las Humanas. The half-mile trail loops through the large, partially excavated pueblo and through the ruins of two Spanish missions.
The Salinas Pueblo Missions are a series of ruins of several Native American villages and Spanish missions dating back to Spanish colonial times, which were later abandoned. The monument is composed of three sites: Abo, Quarai, and Gran Quivira. All three showcase the remains of impressive Spanish missions and the partially excavated Native American villages alongside them. All three sites also have a small ranger station and gift shop, where you can learn about the history of the site and purchase trail guides.
