A large site within Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, with a great kiva and painted rooms under a protective roof, open for visitors to walk around freely.
Built around 1060, the site has about 40 rooms, several kivas and a great kiva about 14 metres in diameter, and it has connections to Chaco culture. Original plaster wall paintings survive under the protective shelter. Admission is free, and there are short trails and restrooms.
