We visit Bluff once in a while looking for rock art and native American ruins. Every time I drive by this sign I think, "this must be the oldest town in the U.S.!" Well, we all know what's going on here, some towns are so small they deserve a special category.  And Bluff is small, maybe 200 people. I'll bet in 650 AD there were more natives here than this!  Anyway, when they wanted to paint a white line down the middle of the street, they had to widen it. Also, I'm told, "if you want to buy a house here, you'll need exact change."

Anyway, we spent many a night here hiking and exploring the Southwest and Four Corners areas. It really is a nice place but you have to appreciate it for what it is. If you're an amateur archaeologist, don't miss it. If you're looking for Macy's or the Opera, forget it.
