Fort Apache

We've been staying at a Worldmark resort in Pinetop, AZ. This was our timeshare trade from the Calgary trip that was supposed to have happened in early August. Not the greatest area, but we've hiked a little and found some interesting places to visit. Fort Apache was one.

The fort is on the White Mountain Apache Reservation. The fort, former Indian school (now a junior high school), and museum are all run by the White Mountain Apaches. There were several gowas (wickiups) near the museum. Here's one.

The visit also gave us permission to visit Kinishba, a pueblo-type complex of over 600 rooms. Although not ancestral to the Apache; they are protecting the ruins for the Zuni and Hopi people. My photo is one dimensional and doesn't convey the scope of the complex at all.
