Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits, Scenic View/Photo Spot

This is Cave Kiva. Unlike the other cavates you could climb into, this one is a kiva. Do you remember earlier on this walk when you saw Big Kiva? This cavate was used for the same purpose as Big Kiva. Unfortunately, this kiva cavate must be smoked and replastered regularly to remove graffiti left by visitors. Please help the National Park Service preserve this cultural heritage for all to experience. Any disturbance is vandalism and against the law.
