Walls of Puerco Pueblo

Walls of Puerco Pueblo
Ancient stone walls trace the remains of Puerco Pueblo across the high desert of Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. The carefully laid masonry reveals the footprint of a community that once flourished along the Puerco River, while a nearby stone structure and interpretive area help preserve its story for modern visitors. Small spring wildflowers add touches of color among the weathered stones beneath an expansive Southwestern sky. #EngelPhotography #PuercoPueblo #PetrifiedForestNationalPark #PaintedDesert #Arizona #PuebloRuins #ArchaeologicalSite #AncientRuins #StoneMasonry #HistoricSite #AncestralPueblo #AmericanSouthwest #DesertLandscape #HistoryPhotography
