Cibola County is located in the southern most tip of the Rocky Mountains in the Zuni Mountain Range. The Cibola National Forest includes the Zuni Mountains. Cibola County is rich in history and for the past 220 million years has been host to a variety of travelers including the Dinosaurs, and prehistoric culture called the Ancient Ones.

Here you will find El Morro National Monument also known as the "Inscription Rock". Rising 200 feet above the plains this was once the site of two Anasazi Pueblos in 1275 A. D. The largest pueblo was made up of over 900 rooms. Hundreds of Indian petroglyphs are found at the base as well chiseled names of numerous explorers, soldiers, settlers, and immigrants. This area today is designated a National Park. The first time I saw it was when I took the picture above. It is a such a majestic rock formation to stand in front of and marvel at. It is easy to see why this was a welcome landmark for weary travelers. Not too far away I marveled at the the windows in the rocks of the Prehistoric Cliff Dwellers.

The County is also home to El Morro National Monument, El Malpais National Monument, The Ice Caves and Bandera Volcano.
