Puerco Pueblo

Inside the Petrified Forest - an ancient pueblo ruins and many petroglyphs along the canyon beside the pueblo. Well marked paved trails, and lots of interpretive signage.

A cool piece of history with a Kiva, ruins, and petraglyphs. Short walk to each area. There was also an enclosed building with pictures and written information about the area. There were also clean, public restrooms.

Visited in May 2024. Walking around the ruins was a unique experience, and I was lucky enough to see an endless freight train and Amtrak go through in the distance. This is the only National Park that has a set of active railroad tracks going through it.

Great historic place in a great landscape.

This was an interesting place to visit if you are interested in history and local culture. The area was well maintained and good information was provided in each station, explaining what each spot was. It is part of the petrified forest area tour. It is worth stopping and checking it out, but I found it a bit underwhelming.

This will be on the map you receive when you enter the Petrified Wood National Park. You'll see a Pueblo looking building that has very informational and educational posters to read. There is a little trail to walk. No bathrooms are available here. Handicap ♿️ accessibility.

It is a remarkable sight. It blends the remains of ancient ruins with a beautiful courtyard and captivating petroglyphs. The informational signage found throughout the site provides valuable insights. As you explore, you can't help but appreciate the effortless accessibility to such historical remnants. This must-visit spot in the national park allows you to vividly imagine life during those ancient times. The petroglyphs themselves are awe-inspiring and definitely worth the short trek for an up-close view. While the entire Petrified Forest National Park is stunning, the Pueblo stands out as one of the most captivating attractions. Its combination of ancient ruins and accompanying petroglyphs creates an unforgettable experience.

Former Pueblo ruins and petroglyph site - there’s a short, paved but unshaded trail you can walk to a information display hut before continuing to the petroglyphs, which are really close, and the former ruins
