It's still possible, and relatively easy, to discover new ruins in the southwest. Especially around Cedar Mesa.

- sizzzzlerz 10y agoI read there are tens of thousands of Anazasi sites in the Four Corners area. Mesa Verde and Chaco are obviously two of the largest but there are also small sites like graineries and single family ruins out there waiting to be found. I've done a fair amount of exploring in canyon country and coming upon a ruin unexpectedly gets my heart pumping. I find unrestored ruins to be far more interesting than the reconstructed affairs found in the parks.
