Talus House overview
Talus House
There are several good reasons to visit the Talus House. For one, it is an excellent opportunity to learn about the history of the Pueblo people. The site contains the remains of a large dwelling that was home to a number of families over 700 years ago. Visitors can explore the ruins and gain insight into the daily lives of these ancient people.
Another reason to visit the Talus House is to appreciate the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The trail to the site winds through a picturesque canyon and offers stunning views of the surrounding cliffs and mesas. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, coyotes, and birds of prey.
One of the unique things visitors might see at the Talus House is the remains of a kiva, a ceremonial structure used by the Pueblo people for religious rituals. The kiva at the Talus House is particularly interesting because it has a rare circular design that is not commonly found in other ancestral Pueblo sites.
Overall, the Talus House is a must-see attraction for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or natural beauty. Visitors can enjoy a short hike, learn about ancient cultures, and take in the stunning New Mexico landscape all in one place.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
