Even if one did nothing but drive through this area, it would be throughly enjoyable:
At the Jemez State Monument the site houses the ruins of the Gisewa Pueblo and the church of San Jose de los Jemez which was built on top of the pueblo:
Parts of the church ruins date back to 1622 and the pueblo which preceded it was a thriving community some 200 years before that.
Wow, those are some interesting ruins! I had not heard of this place. Next time we're through the area...
