Views from my walk at the Ancestral Sites Trail at Pecos National Historical Park in New Mexico

During my March 2024 visit to New Mexico, I took a hike on the Ancestral Sites Trail at the Pecos National Historical Park. The trail leads to the ancestral sites of Pecos Pueblo and the Spanish Mission Church.
Pecos Pueblo contributed to a trade network, of over 2,000 inhabitants for over 400 years. The Spanish worked to convert those people by establishing a massive church, which was burnt down in the Pueblo Revolt and eventually replaced by a smaller mission.
Along the trail there are reconstructed kivas (subterranean pit-houses used for religious and ceremonial purposes). At the end of the trail are the remains of the two mission churches.
There are also beautiful views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Glorieta Mesa.
The video shows some of the views along the trail.
