The Pueblo Indian Cultural Center in Albuquerque was our starting point.
They have exhibits on the 19 pueblos in New Mexico.
Below left is the Acoma Sky City pueblo outside Albuquerque, on top of a mesa.
It is still occupied by a few dozen Acoma indians.
The center shows the Taos pueblo, also still occupied.
Right is the Mesa Verde pueblo ruins in Colorado.
It was occupied from approximately 1000 AD to 1300 AD then abandoned.
Santa Fe and Taos are famous for their museums and art galleries.
The sculptor of the End of the Trail (below left) sold it to the City of Santa Fe for

Other memorable scenes: Monument Valley on the left; on the right,
petroglyphs believed to be from between 500 BC and 1500 AD.
