    Continental Divide Elevation is 7295 feet. From one side, water flows to the Atlantic Ocean and from the other side the water flows to the Pacific Ocean. There's a Indian trading post that has some interesting items and beautiful jewelry. Route 66 shirts and hats are reasonably priced. Fireworks are expensive as heck tho. Be prepared, they do all their receipts by hand so it took us about 20 mins to check out because we had to wait in someone that bought a bunch of jewelry.

    Driving by and just stopped to take a look .

    All the water west of here flows into the Pacific Ocean and east of here flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

    Zuni Pueblo National Park: adventure to see, history to witness, views to appreciate. Zuni Pueblo…read moreis truly a hidden treasure in the New Mexico desert that I stumbled across quite by lovely accident. My imagination could not have captured the unique spirit of Zuni Pueblo. This is a great place to stop and walk around for 2-3 hours. I walked around the entire site, which took at least an hour, and admired the extensive graffiti: from native Zuni, Spanish Conquistadors, Gold Rushers, Wagon Trailers, even early 1900 teenagers. A one-mile trail will take you straight up to the top of the pueblo where you can appreciate the extensive views. The Zuni tribe initially lived up on the mesa, a flat land overlooking the entire area. I was told that the Zuni tribe migrated 30 miles away from here possibly because their water source had dried up. There is a grotto filled with water at the base of the mesa. The archaeological sites of former housing is still accessible. Unfortunately, because of winds and tourists, the archaeological digging had to be ceased altogether. On the day I saw the pueblo, there were no other tourists. I was able to experience the magic of Zuni Pueblo alone. A short 30 mile drive away will take you to the modern day Zuni reservation. Keep your eyes open for locals selling their own handmade Zuni fetishes for a quarter of the price that the American-owned shop sells them for.

    Although Zuni Pueblo is a bit more remote than other native American pueblos along Interstate 40 or…read more25, this friendly village is well worth the trip. Zuni features a number of art and native jewelry shops along its 'Main Street.' The Zuni Visitor Center (also on the main street) is helpful and friendly and will provide information on visiting local artist studios; assist in finding a local guide to show you the old section of the village; and provide information on discounts to local businesses. Definitely a good place to start. We were here the first weekend in May and thoroughly enjoyed the Zuni Main Street Festival and Art Walk. Everyone we met were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Although not advertised to the general public, we were invited by local artists to attend the incredible evening plaza kachina dance. An unforgettable experience. Zuni is close to the El Malpais National Monument and is a great place to enjoy lunch after exploring the sites of El Malpais.

    Don't bother. The "pueblo" is just a bunch of mis-matched houses patched with modern materials like…read morevinyl windows, concrete blocks, bricks, and tar paper. Window air conditioning units abound. Cars are parked willy-nilly everywhere so there is no way to take a decent photo. The tour was supposed to be at least 45 minutes but the tour guide (not very informative) was shooing us back onto the bus at 25 minutes. The history of the pueblo is interesting but the present-day reality, not so much. Serious disappointment.

    The most striking of the Pueblo villages, and perhaps the oldest continuously occupied community in…read morethe USA, is Acoma Pueblo, and more particularly, Sky City. 60 miles west of Albuquerque, N.M., the "People of the White Rock," first established their adobe homes atop this isolated butte 360 feet above the arid plain below sometime in the 12th Century, long before the invading Conquistadors in the 16th Century. A perfect fortress against marauders, the few thousand locals who worked the land below and maintained the hidden stairways and tunnels to the 70 flat acres above, were prosperous farmers and traders with indigenous groups as far away as the Aztec and Mayans in Central America, with established trails from ocean to ocean. For anyone who has visited Israel and climbed Masada overlooking the Dead Sea, Acoma Sky City feels like a brother citadel. The climb is not as long, but the sense of history and humanity is as powerful. You can now take a motorized vehicle to the summit, but that would be cheating you out of a most challenging and unique experience. Go on foot, from narrow stone step to the next; grabbing handholds where strategically placed, and duck down to squeeze through narrow vertical shafts to the next level, until emerging on top where ancient adobe homes and wide dusty plaza greet you. Walk around allowing your imagination to return you to the 14th Century when Acoma was a center of civilization, and you could see 100 miles in all directions from the rim.
