This sky city is the most amazing setting of any Ancestral Puebloan structure I have ever visited. It was rarely visited but is becoming more popular with people publishing its location on websites, which I will not be doing. If you do find it treat it with respect, do not walk on the roof of the kiva, I am afraid it will not take many more people standing on it.
This is an ideal spot, it has only one way in and a fairly permanent water source on the ledge. The site is so exposed that it makes you a little uncomfortable even being there, but people lived thier lives out there in this little village on the edge of the great abyss.

Beautiful intact kiva, all pilasters and roof in place and much of the stucco still sticking to the walls. One wall has fallen into the canyon.I hope the Ancients don't mind me taking a picture of their sacred places, or maybe we just project our ideas of sacred onto these places and they were much more utilitarian to those that spent cold winters on this ledge.
