There are many ancient sites where the Puebloan tribes lived in Colorado.
Moab has some of the most scenic red rock, secluded places to hike and stay, and Blanding’s Edge of the Cedars Museum contains hundreds of Puebloan artifacts, including stories about the way the tribes lived and artifacts from hundreds of years ago.
Bluff is known for its petroglyph walls. Sand Island’s wall is full of petroglyphs, as well as markings made in the last century, which has provoked controversy between tribal leaders and people who find those sites sacred. Wolfman Petroglyph site contains some cliff dwellings and a petroglyph wall.
Mesa Verde’s cliff dwellings showed how ancient people lived as well as how sacred these places are to descendants of those tribes. It was an amazing site to see, and it was a nice rest before getting back to playing competitive tennis, and all the other aspects of life.
