This dwelling is at least 900 years old

You are probably thinking of Montezuma's Castle. I remember the day when you could climb up and into it without a guide. Used to find all kinds of little Treasures. :-) Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

It is on the reservation of the the Ute Mountain tribe.

It is in extreme south west Colorado. It is adjacent to Mesa Verde NP. The tribe gives a guided tour in a small van. The ruins are spectacular, ruins not a picked over archeological site, untouched by people. The ruin photo has stuff left there 900 or so years ago. Truly amazing.Most structures in this pueblo are intact. the kiva has artwork on whitewashed walls but the roof is caved in.

They pick you up at the Casino and drive you back into the reservation. It is the best tour we have seen and we have been on many. We have seen lots and lots of ruins. these are perhaps the best. They are small but you get a very spooky feeling of trespassing. You can feel the presence of those who were there.

It’s on the road from Ship Rock (home of Sgt Jim Chee) to Cortez
