Mesa Verde, redux
Ava loved the view at Cliff Palace, the second tour -especially the opportunity to see it from the overlook deck! She took some great shots, here are a few of them.
I am somewhere down there in that tour group listening to an ancient Park Ranger that must be part mountain goat!
Here we are learning about a "kiva", those circular "meeting rooms/spiritual houses". What really surprised me is these weren't dug out - they were circular rooms that they filled in around to insulate, make as though underground, and maybe add to the walk-around space in between them!
Once again, the exits are killers. Note the natural wood log ladder putting you back on top of the mesa and
the entrance way down here!
Ava didn't miss this a bit.
