Of the many cliff dwellings and ruins that can be found at Canyons of The Ancients National Monument, the Saddlehorn Pueblo is one of the most picturesque. It features some obvious brick walls that are preserved within a cave in the side of the canyon wall. There are spur trails that let you explore area up close.
