Hook
The most completely restored Spanish mission, rebuilt by the CCC with livestock and gardens

Eleven restored buildings, working livestock in period breeds, and candlelight tours make it the most complete picture of mission life anywhere — the CCC's 1930s reconstruction was itself a landmark project. Twenty-five miles of trail cross the surrounding mesa and canyon.
