Sky City - Acoma Indian Pueblo

This pueblo dates to 1100 AD and is 370 feet above the canyon floor.  It was only accessible by foot until the movie studios decided to make a movie there and paid for a paved road to be built to access the pueblo.  The Acoma Indians still live up there and there is no electricity or running water.  We toured a beautiful very old Catholic Church, but no photos were allowed.

The mesa in the distance is the longest continuously inhabited pueblo in the United States.



Made it to the top....I cheated and rode the tour bus up!
