Chimney Rock Great Kiva — photo spot in Pagosa Springs, CO 81147, USA
Chimney Rock Great Kiva
Ancestral Puebloan ruins perched on a mesa near Pagosa Springs — photograph the Great Kiva, dramatic sandstone spires, and sweeping Piedra River valley. Best at golden hour for warm light on stone; autumn yields colorful aspen contrast. Site is culturally sensitive (sacred to Pueblo peoples): stay on trails, do not climb ruins. Short hike from a small parking area; expect limited facilities and seasonal access (snow in winter).
