Pecos National Historical Park

In the midst of piñon, juniper, and pine woodlands in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains 25 miles southeast of Santa Fe, the remains of an Indian pueblo stand as a meaningful reminder of the people who once prevailed in this area. Long before the arrival of Spanish explorers, long before it was called "Pecos," this pueblo village was the locus of trade between people of the Rio Grande Valley and hunting tribes of the buffalo plains.
