The Pueblo of Jemez is the only remaining
village of the Towa speaking pueblos in New Mexico. It is surrounded
by colorful red sandstone mesas and serves as the gateway to the Ca–on
de San Diego and the Jemez Mountain Trail National Scenic Byway. The
pueblo itself is located 27 miles (43 kilometers) northwest of
Bernalillo. Visitors can stop at the Walatowa Visitor Center which
houses a reconstructed traditional Jemez field house, a photo exhibit,
a gift shop and other cultural exhibits.
