Description
Formerly known as Ceremonial Cave, Alcove House is located 140 feet above the floor of Frijoles Canyon in Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico. Once home to approximately 25 Ancestral Pueblo people, the elevated site is now reached by 4 wooden ladders and a number of stone stairs. Alcove House is a reconstructed kiva of former Puebloan homes. Imagine climbing these ladders, carrying whatever supplies were needed, to reach this lofty home.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed.
