PROGRAM DETAILS

This guided tour takes visitors 1/3 of a mile up the Great Pueblo Trail and makes several stops along the way to enjoy the ancient Puebloan structures built over 1000 years ago. Stops include the Ridge House, several pit houses, the location of the “guardhouse” and the Great Pueblo. Hear the archaeological details that connect this civilization to the Chaco culture located 90 miles southwest of this spot. At the end of the trail visitors will enjoy the 360 degree view from atop the mountain ridge and have the closest view of the two pinnacles: Chimney Rock and Companion Rock. Be on the look-out for the peregrine falcons nesting on the left side of Companion Rock! Bring your cameras for some amazing photos.
