Texas' only monument offers ranger guided hikes, a film and exhibits. Hikes are by reservation, involve one mile of walking, an elevation gain of 170' and take two hours.  The monument protects a mesa covered in a lithic scatter carpet of flint, so thick you cannot walk without stepping on human generated flakes of Alibates flint.  The quarries were dug, by hand, 1,000 years ago.  However, gathering of flint from the mesa has been taking place for 13,000 years. Cost: There is no entrance fee for the park, but access is limited to free guided tours by the U.S. National Park Service -- available by reservation only.
