Step back in time in the ruins of a small Anasazi village, dating back to the late 1100s. The Tusayan Ruins give visitors a brief history on the lifestyles of some of the early settlers. Historians speculate that this settlement numbered about 30 people and was in occupation for only a quarter of a century. Although there is an abundance of nearby Anasazi sites, the Tusayan site is the only one with easy access. Paved walking paths wind through the pueblo excavation and there is a small museum. Estimated walking time is 30 minutes. Admission is free.Map:
