Three Rivers has all the qualities of a Grand Cathedral, yet also peace and solitude. The inscriptions are no less valid than anything ever written, 20,000 prayers and storys, all canonized by the Mogollon, (Mo-gee-yon) or sometimes called by their descendants, "First Peoples".
The impact of drought upon this already arid environment caused the authors to migrate following the desert animals they hunted, to lands more hospitable, where rains allowed the planting of beans, corn, and squash.
There is little evidence of the large population that once lived here, as the land is now quiet, clean, natural, and the wild has returned.
There is plenty of dry camping in and around the site on BLM property, and many things to see very near here. New Mexico has a wealth of Native American Culture. It's not the type of place you'll want to hurry through. A camper or motor home is the best way to do it. New Mexico is camper friendly.
