This view of the Sangre de Cristo (Blood of Christ) Mountain range and Santa Fe is from the interior of a cavate at Tsankawi. The accessibility for current visitors to enter this ancient dwelling is indicated by the modern reflective footprints and textural spots which provide our current reflection within this ancient space.
