About Yucca House

Yucca House National Monument protects an unexcavated Ancestral Puebloan archaeological site dating from 1150 to 1300 CE in southwestern Colorado. The monument contains the remains of a large pueblo complex that once housed hundreds of people, though the structures remain largely buried and unrestored. This remote site offers visitors a chance to see an undeveloped archaeological site in its natural state. The monument is managed by the National Park Service.
