The Cannonball Mesa Pueblo is located in the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument about 20 miles west of Cortez, Colorado. Perched above a spring, on the rim of a side arm of Yellow Jacket Canyon, are the ruins of a pueblo style structure that probably had 20 or more rooms. While much of the present ruins are rubble piles there are a few standing walls that might be over 10 feet in height.
