Pacos NHS Ruins, Pecos, NM - April 2013

Pacos NHS Ruins, Pecos, NM - April 2013

We had a wonderful week in Santa Fe, New Mexico! The weather was as great as the scenery, and the Pacos NHS ruins were as stunning as all of the ruins we have seen. But the beauty of the early American ruin locations is that they are all unique in so many ways.

Make sure you "click" on the panoramic shots!
