If you're brave enough, as I and three of the other "seniors" who rode the van from the Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center to Acoma Sky City on 5/25/2016 were, you can hike down the side of the 360 foot mesa using stone steps and hand holds cut into the rock 500-900 years ago. Well done.
On top of the mesa that makes up Acoma Sky City, the buildings and I are 360 feet above the bushes on the floor of the canyon you can see at the far left. Sky City is the longest inhabited city/village in North America having been continuously occupied since the 1100s.
Acoma Pueblo
Acoma Pueblo is a Native American pueblo approximately 60 miles west of Albuquerque, New Mexico in the United States. Three reservations make up Acoma Pueblo: Sky City (Old Acoma), Acomita, and McCartys. The Acoma Pueblo tribe is a federally recognized tribal entity. The historical land of Acoma Pueblo totaled roughly 5 million acres; now only 10% of this land is in the hands of the community.
