Description

A cholla cactus sits not far from the ruins of the Pecos Pueblo Mission, located not far from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Pecos Pueblo was a crucial site for Vasquez de Coronados journey into New Mexico in the early 1540's. The church at the mission was built in 1619. Although, the Pueblo succumbed to the ravages of sickness and conflict and its inhabitants eventually moved to Jemez Pueblo during the 1700's.
