| Driving up the steep climb to the mesa top. |

| Mesa Verde NP was like nothing I've ever seen before - I'd like to make a return trip to see more. Here you can see some cliff dwellings from a distance - we were able to walk down & see these. |
 |
| Kiva - a religious room/pit in the cliff dwelling. You were able to see a series of dwellings from different time periods & see how the kiva grew in importance & structure. |

| A kiva from an earier time period. |
 |
| Another large cliff dwelling. The Anasazi People lived in the cliff face & would climb to the mesa top to farm! It was unbelievable to see the route they took up & down each day. |

| One place we camped. |
 |
| Driving home. |

| These are so good - cool burlap bag too. |

| We raided the watermelon patch when we got home. Still ripe melons coming in. |
