Peaceful view from the Alcove House (Ceremonial Cave) Bandelier

Peaceful view from the Alcove House (Ceremonial Cave) Bandelier National Monument. New Mexico, 2018.
“Alcove House. Formerly known as Ceremonial Cave, this alcove is located 140 feet above the floor of Frijoles Canyon. Once home to approximately 25 Ancestral Pueblo people, the elevated site is now reached by 4 wooden ladders and a number of stone stairs. In Alcove House, there is a reconstructed kiva and the viga holes and niches of former homes. Imagine climbing these ladders, carrying whatever supplies were needed, to this lofty home.” – NPS
