Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in New Mexico

Ancestors of Puebloan people who once lived in the Mogollon area built the Gila Cliff Dwellings. The Mogollon Peoples are believed to have inhabited the region from between 1275 and into the early 14th century, during the Pueblo III Era.

There are five cliff alcoves above Cliff Dweller Canyon.

Archaeologists have identified 46 rooms in the five caves and believed they were occupied by 10 to 15 families.
