Anasali State Park Museum has announced the implementation of Stage 2 Fire Restrictions, prohibiting all open fires of any kind. This ban includes fires within established fire pits, charcoal grills, pellet grills, and any other ash-producing fuel.
Under these restrictions, properly shielded gas or liquid-fueled portable camp stoves with a shut-off valve may be used, provided they are placed in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren and free of flammable vegetation.
The museum is also managing ongoing construction and facility updates. While the south parking area has been under construction since April 27, 2026, visitors should use the north entrance to access parking. Following signs at the park's garage driveway will direct visitors around the back of the building to the museum entrance.
Additionally, while the Anasazi State Park Museum gift shop and archaeological site remain open, renovations to the exhibits are still in progress. The gallery is open for public viewing, though the exhibits themselves remain a work in progress.
The museum features an Ancestral Puebloan village that was likely occupied between A.D. 1050 and 1200, representing one of the largest communities west of the Colorado River. Visitors can tour a life-sized, six-room replica of an ancient dwelling and view artifacts excavated from the original site.
