Ancestral Puebloans lived at Far View 200 years before the Mesa Verde cliff dwellings were built. Approximately 50 villages existed over time within a half mile area of each other. Peak populations on this site occurred between A.D. 900-1300. Six excavated sites are connected by trails; Far View House, Pipe Shrine House, Coyote Village, Far View Reservoir, Megalithic House, and Far View Tower. Slide copyright 2008, Creative Juice LLC.
