This is perhaps one of the sparsest sites in the Park Service. To even arrive at the site, one drives on gravel back roads until the road becomes a driveway to a farmhouse. Park by the large garage.
A sign directs visitors onto a boardwalk across some of the lawn to a gate, through which a path leads to a second gate with an NPS sign for the site next to it.
Passing through the gate one sees it - a pile of stones (some still stacked as a wall) badly overgrown with local weeds. The rubble is what remains of an old Pueblo farmhouse.
The site still has ongoing archaeology research occuring.
