Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Abó Unit

An interesting place with an interesting history. No one in the visitor's center when we arrived but there was signage and access to printed material to explain what we were seeing. Beautiful area.

Beautiful ruins in the shadow of the Manzano Mountains. The Abó site is a peaceful place for reflection, discovery, and history. Free admission and ample parking.

We enjoyed exploring the site and found it easy to walk the trails. There is a small visitor center with bathrooms and a parking area for oversized vehicles.

Amazing place lost in time. Only a 2-300 acre site but due to its remoteness it’s vast in its overall perspective. Steeped in history going initially 400 years back to the actual mission but the people settling the land in that area go back another 500 years. Worth a slow walk through and wonder back. Enjoy.

Nice place to visit; short and nice walk, clean, with nice paths. The signs are informative, and the person who greeted us was very nice. The ruins were interesting and beautiful. I am glad we could bring our dogs as long as they were leashed and we cleaned up after them 😊

Abo ruins was a beautiful stop. We drive from Albuquerque for a day trip. There are two rides to get there, one in each side of the mountains. I would recommend heading east on I-40 and driving the evening highway. It is beautiful. You pass small towns, pretty mountain scenery than you drive out into the flat empty New Mexico country side. Abo is an old mission. The self guided walking tour is easy and informative. The scenery is gorgeous. The mission is a great backdrop for pictures. I would highly recommend visiting this mission.

Beautiful Spanish ruins in the middle of nowhere New Mexico. The views from this place are fantastic compared to the other ones but the sun was almost too much. Really loved visiting here and we'll be back when the weather is a little cooler.

Incredible history and so well preserved. We really enjoyed walking the self-guided tour.
