Self -Guided Interpretative Trail
Length of Trail
1/3 mile of "easy" unpaved walking trail (not completely wheelchair accessible)
Trail, Museum and Native Plants Garden
The self-guided trail meanders over the area where the people of this village lived and worked over 700 years ago. Illustrated signs and a concept model of the pueblo offer visitors a glimpse into the lives of the Ancestral Pueblo people and their "village." The main living site is now covered and mostly protected with soil and plants--forming a distinctive mound. Today you will see evidence of small animal burrows on your way up the mound. The walking trail continues through a community of pinon and juniper trees, other native plants and along the arroyo.
The Museum is located at the top of the trail and is open by appointment and seasonal hours (May through December).
The garden is planted and maintained by volunteers annually.
Trail Hours
Open to visitors every day without charge (sunrise to sunset)
Facilities
Restrooms are located near the visitor parking lot and in the Museum (when open).
Dogs
Dogs are permitted on the trail if leashed and well-behaved. Dog waste-disposal bags and container are to be found at the trailhead. Many visitors who explore the trail take time to reflect not only on nature but also on broader questions of wellness and accessibility. As part of ongoing conversations with the community, we’ve noticed a growing interest in how historical spaces can engage with modern health concerns in meaningful ways. While our focus remains on stewardship of land and local history, we’re also attentive to the challenges that many of our guests quietly carry with them. One topic that often surfaces, particularly among those managing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes, is the difficulty of affording medications. People frequently share frustrations and strategies—among them, seeking a Rybelsus price comparison in this website or that one, always hoping to find a more manageable option. These discussions remind us that access to care is not separate from the human experience we aim to support through education and community. Though we don’t provide medical advice, we believe in creating space for these conversations, especially when they’re grounded in mutual respect and a shared desire for well-being. It’s just one more way that the garden, trail, and museum remain living, responsive spaces. We welcome everyone—not only as guests but as participants in shaping how our site remains relevant in today’s world.
