Visit the Anasazi State Park Museum
CultureEasyYear-round
Explore the site of an ancient Ancestral Puebloan village in Boulder, featuring partially excavated ruins and a life-sized replica of a six-room dwelling.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes to explore the museum galleries and the outdoor Coombs Site ruins.
- 2Pack a picnic to enjoy at the shaded tables on-site, as dining options in the town of Boulder are limited during the off-season.
- 3Wear sturdy walking shoes or sandals even though the path is short, as the outdoor portion involves uneven dirt trails.
- 4Pay the small per-person entrance fee at the visitor center desk, which includes access to all indoor exhibits and the life-sized replica dwelling.
- 5Use this stop as a strategic leg-stretch while driving Scenic Byway 12, located exactly halfway between Escalante and Torrey.
- 6Combine your visit with a stop at the neighboring Burr Trail Outpost for locally roasted coffee and artisanal snacks.
