Puerco Pueblo
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
No elevation data on file for this trail.
Puerco Pueblo is located at mile marker 11 (11 miles from the north entrance of Petrified Forest National Park), the only ancestral Puebloan village that is easily accessible to the public. The 1/3 of a mile loop trail meanders through the ancient site, complete with exhibits along the pathway as well as in the mini-museum located in the historic check station half way around the loop. The stabilized masonry walls are only a fraction of the archeological site. Petroglyphs can also been seen close to the trail. The site was occupied over 650 years ago.
