Gallup has successfully protected its history and people throughout the years. Stroll along the downtown sidewalks and enjoy a first hand look at the many buildings, crafts and cuisine that have stood the test of time. Traditions, recipes and legends have passed down from generation to generation allowing you to take a step back in time, all the while enjoying the luxuries of today. One of the best places to buy a Navajo rug, which are well known for their craftsmanship, is at Crownpoint.
Close to Gallup lies the Ácoma Sky City. Sitting on top of a rock that’s over 350 feet up gives you the reason for its name. This town is one of the oldest settlements in the nation. Take your camera along to the Bisti Badlands and De-Nah-Zin Wilderness and enjoy the spectacular sites nature has provided. The Red Rock Museum is a great place to see the various cultures that have thrived here. With Route 66 cutting its way through the area make sure you visit the markers and sites nearby.
