Canyons of the Ancients National Monument gets new rules for visitors and drones

The US Land Management Bureau has finalized new rules for Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in Colorado. These rules make it easier to protect ancient sites and natural resources from damage.

This document means the Land Management Bureau can now enforce specific behaviors within the Monument. Before, they relied on broader federal regulations. Now, they have clear, local rules to prevent damage to archaeological sites and natural features, and to manage visitor conduct.
