This spot is near where the center ancient Tsankawi Village once stood. From here you get fantastic views out over the mesa of Jémez Mountains to the west, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the Española Valley to the east, and about 70 miles south you can see the Sandia Mountains, near Albuquerque. In addition to the natural high ground that the mesa afforded the Indigenous people and caves that dot the cliffsides, there used to be tall defensive walls to protect this central plaza. You can see the remains of these walls and other structures as well as pottery shards. Collecting these important historical artifacts is illegal and even moving them from one spot to another in the village can disrupt our understanding of the area. As you leave this area you get to walk on ancient pathways carved into the rock itself. There are some ancient small stone steps carved in the cliffs, but please stick to the ladders rather than climb the steps.
