4.5Coronado Historic Site(249 reviews) - With the docent, climb up and then down into the decorated Kiva...feel the ancestors Thursday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Monuments & Statues
We were very fortunate to have the site to ourselves with a private docent tour of the restored Kiva paintings. The pueblo was occupied from about 1325 to end of 16th century. These murals represent one of the finest examples of pre-contact Native American art to be found anywhere in North America. We climbed up a wood ladder and down a ladder into the Kiva itself. It was mystic. We had never seen such paintings previously. 17 layers of wall murals were removed and preserved and reproduction murals were painted on its reconstructed interiors. Many of the original murals are in the site’s visitor center museum. No photographs are allowed in this kiva.See more..

4.5Salmon Ruins(195 reviews) - Very interesting and well worth a short stop Thursday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins
We passed by this 1000 year old native american ruins on our way to Taos and we turned around to go back and check it out. We were able to enjoy everything in about an hour. The people working there were very friendly and informative. It turned out to be quite interesting and well worth our time to stop. There is a small charge ($4) to get in to the museum and walk the around the ruins, but it is nonetheless very highly recommended.See more..

4.0Poshuouinge Ruins(28 reviews) - Pottery Everywhere! Ancient Ruins
While there are no longer structures or even traces of structures on this site you can find ancient pottery everywhere along with areas that just sort of feel like they may have been areas where people cooked, or carved, or even guarded the property. If you look closely you can find broken arrowheads and some areas that seem like there was more action than others. It's great for the imagination and for the preservation of culture. Just don't take anything with you!!!!See more..
