Show has shrines along it and is also very sacred. Its exact route has not been located on the ground, but it reportedly runs an absolutely straight course between Zuni Salt Lake and "Zuni Heaven.". . . Ground examination of features associated with We:sak'yaya Onnane, the trail from Zuni to Kolhu/wala:wa, especially features on top of Korkokshi , or South Stinking Springs Mountain, as well as initial examination of aerial photography of the routes used during the quadrennial pilgrimage, suggest that these features satisfy the criteria established for Anasazi roads. One feature that is clearly visible in aerial photographs of South Mountain is an alignment, twenty to thirty feet wide, with all but small stones cleared from the middle and ridges of stone and dirt along both edges. This author discovered a sherd of Cibola white ware (A.D. 1000-1200) in the center of the alignment. Numerous other artifacts are scattered in the area. Nearby are "U"-shaped offering places used by Zuni religious leaders today. 213 Speaking of the network of Anasazi roads, one of which reaches across the trail to Kolhu/wala:wa, Ferguson says: 214 The Kolhu/wala:wa pilgrimage trail, probably bears a spatial, functional, and cultural relationship to this earlier road network, but additional archaeological and ethnographic research is needed to ascertain this. 213.
