The first time I was ay Mesa Verde I skipped the five buck guided tours. I think it was because they were sold out for the day and I didn't want to hang around for a second day. I think I had somewhere else I wanted to go. So I just went to
Spruce Tree House.
I planned ahead this time. I bought tickets yesterday before setting up camp. Cliff Palace at 10:00, Balcony House at noon.
One exits Cliff Palace via stairs and ladders through narrow gaps
And one enters Balcony House via a three-story ladder
And one exits through a tunnel that wasn't sized for modern people
I'm staying the night at Morefield Campground, in the park. It's not a particularly scenic spot, but it has showers and free wifi. Fifteen bucks with my senior pass.
Your best story pictures to date;how many lived there say in a seasonal year?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, there were about 50,000 people on the mesa and surrounding valleys.
DeleteI thought Mesa Verde was fascinating. I've climbed those ladders/stairs and squeezed through that opening. Does the man/woman in that picture know you took a butt shot?
ReplyDeleteHe took a butt shot of the person before him, so it was only fair I do the same.
