This was one of my favorite places on our trip
out to Colorado.

The Ancestral Puebloans lived here for 750
years. Some are thought to have been built
in 1200's. I just find it so interesting how they
built their home in these cliffs. They were

John and I were able to take a tour downto the cliff dwelling and see them up close.
Here is one of the Kiva's that we got to go down
into.
We had to climb out using rock stepsand also climbing up about 3/10 ft.
ladders.
Here is where we ended up coming out.
These are other cliff dwellings that we stoppedat. This picture was taken across the way.

Looks like you've been having fun. Beautiful pics of the west. Can't wait to graduate and move back out. I remember going to Mesa Verde when I was small. It was really cool. Remember the ladders seemed really scary back then. Of course, I was like 5 or something. Email me so I can add you to my blog. rachellaarnold@hotmail.com
