The Village of the Great Kivas, Part 1 » Scanned Image-168

View from the trail back toward the village with a good perspective of the two great kivas. The smaller, also excavated by Roberts is in the lower center of the photo. The larger lies up and to the right with the large round juniper growing from its walls.

Looking up at the site from approximately where the the van was in the previous photo. In the foreground you can see a person standing beside the village, which was excavated by Roberts in the 30s. The petroglyph trail is just below the center row of sandstone blocks above the site.
I laid my well-worn hat down on the trail as scale to illustrate the scope of some of the glyphs.
