Zuni Pueblo is a fascinating place. The visitor's center offers tours that are unlike any others in New Mexico, with 1/2, full day, and two day archaeological tours of sites that are not accessible to the public without a guide. Zuni Pueblo Visitor Center - [phone]

My first trip of 2025 was to the Badger Springs petroglyphs in Zuni Pueblo with Shaun Latone. Experience Zuni Pueblo!

Thanks to staying at the Halona Inn, I had the opportunity to eat at Major Market, a market/restaurant near the visitor center. Impressive...and they have Americanos, which excites me more than it should (excessive caffeine consumption is the norm).

Zuni Olla Maidens

Zuni people from the village of Hawikuu fled to the Dowa Yalanne mesa top to escape the attack by the Coronado expedition in 1540. The 14 structures used as a refuge from the Spaniards off and on between 1540 and 1680 were called Heshoda Ayahltona ("ancient buildings above").

Encompassing 2 square miles, El Morro is one of New Mexico’s smallest, and most peculiar, national monuments. The Federal Government established the monument in 1906 to preserve the inscriptions and petroglyphs lining the base of the cliff, as well as the partially excavated Zuni pueblo village of A’ts’ina on top of the mesa. El Morro is an oasis on the arid plains of western New Mexico. A natural water cache at the base of the mesa has formed a deep pool, replenished by snow melt and run off, providing a year-round, reliable source of fresh water in an otherwise parched environment. The pool is on the eastern side of the mesa, with 200-foot stone walls providing shade most of the day.
