The Great Kiva at Lowry pueblo ruins








These pictures show the Great Kiva located at the Lowry ruins. They are part of 164,000 acres of public land designated as Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in June 2000. The first picture is a plaque that explains how the Kiva was probably used. The second picture shows the ladder used to enter the Kiva. The 3rd and 4th pictures were taken to get a closer view of the stones in the center of the Kiva. The last picture capures the exterior wall of the Kiva. This ruin is about 30 minutes north west of Cortez, CO.
