The words on the Zuni Tourism website request: "Consider capturing visual memories instead of photographs!" That is what we did when we visited Zuni. They do have a great website which can be viewed here. While we were visiting the Pueblo we stopped at the Visitor Information Center, the Pueblo Museum and at several of the jewelery and pottery shops. The atmosphere is of a different time and place, a place to be savored when you visit, but also a culture to be respected.
The photos of the signs and the co-ordinates were taken along Hwy 53 at the east side of the reservation.
