| Jimez is the location of 16th century Giusewa Pueblo ruins and a 17th century Spanish mission San Jose de los Jemez. |
 |
| Franciscans established the mission complex after multiple botched previous attempts in Jemez Indian territory. |
 |
| The pueblo and mission was abandoned in 1680 when the Pueblo Rebellion drove the Spanish from the area until 1692. |
 |
| The missionaries called kivas "estufas of idolatry" and destroyed them when possible. |
 |
| Take the 4 freeway to get there! The 126 is a rough unpaved road through the mountains. |
 |
| Gisewa is the Jemez word for hot springs; there are many nearby. |
