Once an ideal hunting ground and refuge for Pueblo and Apache Indians alike, the area offers a unique insight into the primitive past of the American West.
Chihenne Ranch is rich in archaeological history with a series of Indian sites spanning the Mogollon pueblo time period. Ancient rock art decorate the canyon walls surrounding the ranch and numerous turn of the century gold and silver mines that can be visited to see a glimpse of the area’s past heritage.
