Frijoles Creek carved this canyon and was a source of life for wildlife and the ancient Puebloan people. I came upon this spot on the nature walk portion of the Pueblo Loop Trail. Listening to the creek gurgle on its way, it was easy to imagine an active community living in the adjacent ruins. The reflections are subtle within the creek in the foreground.
