This is a hidden, lesser known gem if you are interested in ancient and historic Native American pueblos. Take a beautiful drive down the backside of the Sandias where you will drive among the pinons on one side and the prairie on the otherside. There are three ruins, but even if you do just one it is worth it. One ruin can be done in 1/2 a day, while all three would take you almost a full day.
